Reviewing the results

Once a model run has completed successfully, you can explore the outcomes in detail through the Run Details view. This section of the portal allows you to verify inputs, examine performance logs, and interactively analyze the simulation results through built-in BI dashboards.

Accessing Run Details

  1. Navigate to the Runs tab within your project.

  2. Click on the run you wish to review (status: Succeeded).

  3. You will be taken to the Run Details page, which is organized into several sections:

Sections in the Run Details

1. Setup → Progress Log

Shows a complete log of the simulation progress, including solver messages, timestamps, and status updates. This is helpful for understanding solver behavior or identifying performance issues.

2. Dataset → Input Snapshot

Contains a copy of the dataset used in this specific run. This snapshot ensures full reproducibility and lets you verify exactly what input data was used.

3. Results → BI Dashboards

Displays the main outputs of the simulation using interactive BI dashboards. These dashboards are organized into multiple tabs and provide rich visualizations of:

  • High-level summaries

  • Temporal profiles (generation, demand, storage, etc.)

  • Cost and performance metrics

4. Map → Geographical View

If your dataset includes geo-referenced data, this section will show a map-based visualization of the modeled system (e.g., nodes, lines, generators). This spatial view can help validate topology and support geographic insights.

Understanding the Results Dashboards

The Results section is organized into two main views:

  • Overview Data: Presents aggregated indicators for each Step defined in the execution configuration. This gives a high-level view of the system’s evolution across time or planning stages.

  • Detailed Data: Offers granular outputs for every time stamp, scenario, or unit modeled. This allows deeper inspection of dispatch schedules, congestion patterns, storage use, emissions, and more.

The built-in BI tool provides several useful features:

  • Filters (under the Controls area) to narrow down results by object, time, scenario, etc.

  • Drill-down capabilities to switch between summary and detailed views.

  • Data export options to download the raw numerical data shown in the dashboards (e.g., in CSV format).

Understanding the Maps

The Map view provides a powerful spatial interface for exploring the geographical structure and results of your model. If your dataset includes georeferenced information (e.g., coordinates for nodes and lines), this view allows you to visually inspect the topology and extract advanced insights across time and scenarios.

Key Features

  • Time Navigation: Use the time selector to view the state of the system at any modeled timestamp. This is especially useful for dynamic analysis—such as monitoring system flows, congestion, or generation dispatch over the course of a simulation.

  • Node Inspection: Click on any node to display relevant attributes and results, such as:

    • Node type (demand, generation, hybrid)

    • Injected power, voltage (if applicable), curtailment, or load served

    • Associated devices connected to the node

  • Branch Inspection: Click on any branch (line or transformer) to view:

    • Flow levels

    • Capacity utilization

    • Directionality and losses

  • Scenario and Step Filtering: If your model includes multiple scenarios or planning steps, the map can be filtered accordingly to compare spatial effects across different cases.

  • Layer Control: Depending on your configuration, you may toggle different layers, such as: electricity, fuel infrastructure and water flows.

Use Cases

  • Validate network topology and data integrity.

  • Identify spatial patterns of congestion or curtailment.

  • Explore how system behavior evolves over time or across scenarios.

  • Communicate spatial results effectively to non-technical stakeholders.

Notes

  • The richness of the Map view depends on the quality of the geospatial data provided in the dataset. If coordinates are missing, objects will not appear in the map.

  • Interactive elements (e.g., tooltips, popups) are enabled for supported objects and can be customized in future releases.

Tips

  • Use the filters to isolate specific technologies, regions, or time windows.

  • Review both high-level and detailed data to understand trade-offs or identify potential modeling issues.

  • Compare runs side-by-side by opening multiple tabs or downloading their datasets and results for external comparison.
