Comparison of CAISO-run Plexos output with LLNL-run Plexos output
USDOE, A. Schmidt, Chris Meyers, Sylvia J. Smith · 2012
In this report we compare the output of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) 33% RPS Plexos model when run on various computing systems. Specifically, we compare the output resulting from running the model on CAISO's computers (Windows) and LLNL's computers (both Windows and Linux). We conclude that the differences between the three results are negligible in the context of the entire system and likely attributed to minor differences in Plexos version numbers as well as the MIP solver used in each case.
