Data

The ExpansionPlanningData() class storages standard data for the IDAES-GTEP model. Within, it includes a function to load data structure using the Prescient data loader.

def load_prescient(self, data_path, options_dict=None):

   self.data_type = "prescient"
   options_dict = {
       "data_path": data_path,
       "input_format": "rts-gmlc",
       "start_date": "01-01-2020",
       "num_days": 365,
       "sced_horizon": 1,
       "sced_frequency_minutes": 60,
       "ruc_horizon": 36,
   }

   prescient_options = PrescientConfig()
   prescient_options.set_value(options_dict)

All the data is stored within the ExpansionPlanningModel() class and used for the solution of the model. Table 1 shows a detailed description of the relevant parameters included.
