Access Assumptions Page
To open the assumptions page, click the assumption button on the left hand side navigation bar. Note that the navigation bar may be expanded or collapsed.
Edit Assumptions
Fill in or Edit a set of assumptions. Then click Save Assumptions. As you save assumptions you will create a list of assumptions which you select from when running a solve.

and the assumption set. The user then runs the solve cycle. The solve cycle takes about 7 seconds to formulate the optimal state of charge profile for the remaining predispatch time horizon and therefore the bids required to achieve this profile. To simulate an entire day’s outcome requires the solver to rerun every 5 minutes hence it takes approximately half an hour to run per day. You can monitor progress of the solve cycle in the Progress Page.
Below is an example of a filled in Solve Run. Note that when using predispatch and/or p5min forecast prices the number of scenarios by definition is 1.
