Simulation time step
Simulation and mathematical programming
Length of each period in a simulation run, for example hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
The simulation time step controls the temporal resolution at which inflows, demands and operations are represented. Short time steps allow detailed analysis of operating rules and short term reliability, while longer time steps are more efficient for long horizon screening studies. PWSC software allows the time step to be chosen according to study objectives.
