A repository of simple Python examples for use with the PLEXOS API
PLEXOS® Integrated Energy Model (PLEXOS) is tried-and-true simulation software that uses state-of-the-art mathematical optimisation combined with the latest data handling and visualisation and distributed computing methods, to provide a high-performance, robust simulation system for electric power, water and gas that is leading edge yet open and transparent. PLEXOS meets the demands of energy market participants, system planners, investors, regulators, consultants and analysts alike with a comprehensive range of features seamlessly integrating electric, water, gas and heat production, transportation and demand over simulated timeframes from minutes to 10’s of years, all delivered through a common simulation engine with easy-to-use interface and integrated data platform.
PLEXOS is the fastest and most sophisticated software available today, and also the most cost-effective.
PLEXOS® licensing is not included with the license for these examples. These scripts are therefore only useful to those with current PLEXOS licensing. Furthermore, these scripts are NOT a supported part of the PLEXOS software. They are only illustrative of uses that could be made of the PLEXOS API by PLEXOS licensees.

The authors are primarily using Anaconda Python version 3.6.x along with the PythonNet repository, along with PLEXOS Desktop 8.1R02. The authors also use Visual Studio Code with the Python and GitExtensions VSCode extensions.
Also .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher is needed. However, you would have to install this to use PLEXOS.
