Electricity Optimal Generation Planning & Operations Model

This is a long-term generation and transmission planning and operations model. The underlying model is based on linear programming. The model is technology-rich, and the underlying database covers costs and technical attributes of thermal and renewable generating units. It can analyze and report results for up to 30 years.
