The software is designed with capacity to model a combination of traditionally generated and renewable energy power systems, including storage systems and load management. It considers systems complexities and builds the most cost-effective solutions in optimization with predefined input variables. The software also has capacity to simulate thousands of comparable systems depending how it is setup.\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n}}\n\n[[Category:Energy]]"}
