Project Description
PLP is the long-term programming of electricity systems. Its main objective is the optimal coordination between the electricity and energy systems so as to achieve balance between current and future system operation costs.
Origin and Contributions
PLP started in 2000 thanks to the contributions made by the electricity generation company Colbún. Its improvement in time has been made possible thanks to the funds given by CDEC-SIC.
Centro de Energía joined the development of this tool in 2011, going through several research stages since. The program has undergone a continuous improvement process, and today it is on its 2.0 version.
The development of PLP has allowed to reduce system modeling time from four hours to ten minutes. Today, it is used daily by CDEC-SIC to coordinate and operate the national electricity system.
