Understanding Chronologies
Learning Objectives
1. Explain the role of chronology and step size in energy system modeling using PLEXOS, including how they influence optimization and constraint enforcement across short-, medium-, and long-term planning horizons.
2. Compare and apply different chronology reduction strategies (Partial, Fitted, Sampled) to manage problem size and improve simulation efficiency.
3. Configure and assess chronology settings to support cost-effective system operation, ensuring proper alignment between constraint periods, planning horizons, and step sizes.
