Linear programming
Simulation and mathematical programming
Optimisation technique in which the objective function and all constraints are linear in the decision variables.
Linear programming (LP) is a core mathematical programming method used in many PWSC studies. It is well suited to problems such as economic dispatch and simplified expansion planning where relationships between variables can be expressed as linear equations or inequalities. Efficient solvers allow large models to be solved quickly.
