Visit our publications page to access some of the most highly credited white papers from across the globe, that reference our class-leading software, PLEXOS® for Power Systems. Take the opportunity to learn first-hand the features and capabilities of PLEXOS®, how the model can help improve and benefit the power market industries and why it has become a competitive electric price forecasting tool of choice across the globe. Get various insights into the capabilities of PLEXOS® the power market modelling software and how it can be implemented for use in electric price forecasting, transmission analysis, capacity expansion planning, generation expansion, stochastic and portfolio optimization, emissions, nodal pricing, hydro modelling, wind integration and much more.
Our regional director for the USA, Mr Eric Toolson has published a white paper on the Variable Energy Resource Integration Analysis using the PLEXOS® power market modelling software. The intent of the white paper is to present several current methodologies for establishing the integration reliability and cost for increasing amounts of variable energy resources such as wind and solar PV. The tool that is used for this purpose, PLEXOS® for Power Systems, coupled with a very capable staff, allows for new insights and observations to be analysed and evaluated.

Modelling Market Risks and volatility through Practical Market Analysis and Pricing Techniques
This exclusive 2nd Annual marcus evans forum will offer energy utilities and trading companies the information needed to design the most effective pricing models for the European wholesale power market. The conference will enable discussion on the incorporation of key variables into modelling techniques, risk management techniques to hedge against extreme scenarios and the effects of market coupling on price forecasting.
Energy Exemplar will be attending the forthcoming 2nd Annual European Electricity Price Modelling & Forecasting Forum taking place in Dusseldorf, Germany on 30 November – 2 December 2011. This is an excellent opportunity to meet with us and have a demonstration of our cutting edge software PLEXOS® Power Market Simulator.
Energy Exemplar are proud to be the major conference lunch sponsor for this event, check out the brochure for this event below.
Please contact us if you wish to set up a meeting and demonstration during these days.

Energy Exemplar attended EMART Energy which took place in Lyon, France on 23-24 November 2011.
A serious issue has been identified in the application of Variable data to the simulation in the second and subsequent simulation steps of MT Schedule and LT Plan. Users of the affected versions should update immediately to avoid the issue.
The following versions of PLEXOS for Power System software are affected:
By default LT Plan solves the entire horizon in a single optimization step. For this case the bulletin does not apply. But if LT Plan is configured to run in two or more steps then the problem described below can occur. MT Schedule by default will solve the simulation horizon into yearly steps. This bulletin applies to MT Schedule when running with two or more steps.
The first simulation step of LT Plan or MT Schedule is unaffected by the issue. But in the second and subsequent simulation steps the values of Variable objects is applied incorrectly to the formulation. Specifically the Variable values from step one are applied in step two, three, etc rather than the values for the appropriate step. The Variable object reporting is correct i.e. Variable [Value], [Error], [Raw Value] all report correctly, but the formulation and reporting of properties derived from the Variable values are shown with incorrect values e.g. if you were to apply a Variable to a Region [Price] then the Region [Price] in the solution would show the incorrect values.
No workarounds are available for this issue.
