1. Conclusion

Congratulations! You have just completed the first tutorial for making a production cost model in SAInt GUI. Through this experience, you have learned how to represent a power system with a network of nodes and lines and manipulate their position and properties. You also learned to create and define external objects attached to the nodes.

Also, with the base model built, you learned the following:

  • To set up a production cost model with a DCUCOPF scenario.

  • To model the market conditions of the system with events by integrating profiles (time-dependent data) with objects.

  • To prioritize the constraints on the system by using penalty events.

  • To run the simulation and analyze the results with some of the features of SAInt.

With the knowledge gained from this tutorial, you have built the foundation for which you will continue your journey to become an expert user of SAInt.

The next steps in your journey is to learn how to use different features of the SAInt GUI to evaluate and visualize the simulation results. Also, you will learn how to export data, which can be used as inputs for additional SAInt projects or post-processing.
