Other
Short description of mathematical model class both LP and MIP formulations exist, use same code for roughly 95%, can be switched using software button
Mathematical objective costs
Approach to uncertainty Deterministic, currently no stochastic version operational, but limited foresight deterministic optimization & inclusion of forecast errors can induce recourse action
Suited for many scenarios / monte-carlo
typical computation time less than a day
Typical computation hardware standard desktop PC (4-core, 8 GB RAM) or server infrastructure
Technical data anchored in the model -

Example research questions Evaluating the welfare impact of a DC cable, evaluating efficiency of different bidding zone configuations, calculating market results and power plant dispatch as input for grid models
Model usage In addition to partners from the original WILMAR consortium, the model is in use at multiple utilities and transmission system operators
Model validation cross-checked with other models, checked with measurements (measured data)
Example research questions Evaluating the welfare impact of a DC cable, evaluating efficiency of different bidding zone configuations, calculating market results and power plant dispatch as input for grid models
further properties rolling planning approach without perfect foresight
Model specific properties a lot of details modeled (see above characteristics), numerous represented areas/markets, combined grid and market simulation possible, time effort for data research is correspondingly high
