Hi,
I have a large-scale model (huge input data and long run) for electricity market, which minimizes the total system cost (I have an external function for this minimization function). I want to include uncertainty in the model and consider some parameters (assume fuel price) uncertain in order to model the system stochastically. I was wondering how could I solve my problem stochastically (if its possible) with facilities of Vensim like Payoff definition or Optimization options when I have some external functions as well? In other words, can I use stochastic optimization of Vensim when I have a cost minimization problem which is solved by external function?

Re: Stocastic optimization of large-scale model
Your question is a little vague. You can use the Vensim functionality to run optimization/sensitivity, but obviously your external functions are your responsibility, only you can answer the questions regarding those.

Re: Stocastic optimization of large-scale model
My question was related to using stochastic optimization for a large-scale model which takes hours. Since Monte Carlo Simulation is initial step for using stochastic optimization modeling simulating that in Vensim is impossible unless I simplify model as much as possible.Administrator wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 6:56 am Your question is a little vague.
