iPool Version Update — Released February 3, 2026

New Command Functionality​

These commands are now active for managing system databases and loading external datasets.

KeywordParameterDescriptionObject
-updatedbDATABASE/JSONSynchronizes system database or JSON DB.DATABASE
-bsetBidSet.csvBatch loads a defined set of BidFiles.BIDS
-esetEventSet.csvBatch loads a defined set of EventFiles.EVENTS
-setzones—WESM Only: Converts regions to zones.DATABASE
-opELP—Optimizes ELP BESS & PS via Duck Curve levelizing.ELP BESS PS
-deletesiteSiteIDPermanent removal of site from scenario/DB.DATABASE
-deleteunitUnitIDPermanent removal of unit from scenario/DB.DATABASE

Market & Scenario Integration​

Optimized for the latest AEMO data structures and projection modeling.

AEMO Data Feeds​

  • -NEMInfo / -NEMData: Direct updates from AEMO generator data CSVs.
  • -MLF: Updates Marginal Loss Factors (e.g., QLD_MLF).
  • -CAPEGFile: (Latest: CAPEG_20250804.csv) Updates max capacity.

Projections​

  • -bDAP: Shifts logic to Day Ahead Projection (DAP) instead of RTD.
  • -bWAP: Shifts logic to Week Ahead Projection (WAP) instead of RTD.

Outage Management​

  • -e: Supports WAPOS and DAPOS outage schedule file loading.
Deprecation Notice

Commands -UFile and -Sfile have been officially REMOVED. Please use -UnitsFile and -SitesFile for all new unit and site modifications.

Enhancements & Critical Fixes​

Priority Dispatch​

Solar and wind priority is now strictly enforced using pseudo bids at -VOLL (Value of Lost Load), replacing the previous VOLG logic.

Stability​

Resolved a critical Infinite Loop bug in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations triggered by extreme events.

Reporting​

  • Added Zonal Reports via BidZone.csv and TraceZone.csv.
  • RTDRS: Real-Time Dispatch Reserve Schedule now included in historical load/reserve reports.
  • Dispatchable Demand: New reporting available for PS & BESS within historical load datasets.

Logic Corrections​

  • Fixed the DemScale bug that caused event doubling.
  • Aligned Apollo Bids to display full quantities consistent with iPool standards.

Apollo Feature Update — Released February 3, 2026

Zonal Scenarios & Dashboard Evolution​

APOLLO now supports deep Zonal Scenario integration, allowing for more granular market analysis.

  • Updated Tree Structures: Scenarios are now organized by zonal hierarchies, making it easier to navigate complex regional data.
  • Enhanced Dashboards: New dashboard views specifically designed for zonal reporting, offering a clearer top-down view of zone-specific metrics and relationships.

Advanced Charting & Legend Controls​

We have introduced a more interactive charting engine to give you full control over your data visualization.

Right-Click Legend Menu​

You can now right-click any chart legend item to:

  • Modify Visuals: Change colors, line thickness, and series type (toggle between Bar, Line, Area, etc.).
  • Filter Views: Quickly "Isolate" a single series or "Re-enable All" with a single click.

Overhauled Comparison View​

The comparison engine has been rebuilt using Pinia storage with persistence, ensuring your work state remains intact even after a refresh.

  • Combining Profiles: You can now add multiple scenarios into a single comparison profile.
  • Integrated Boxplots: When multiple scenarios are combined, the boxplot profiles automatically include values from across all selected scenarios, providing a unified statistical distribution.

Performance & "Optional Unit Loading"​

To solve the bottleneck of long loading times for large datasets, unit loading is now on-demand.

Light Loading by Default​

Left-clicking a scenario in the tree now loads the scenario without units, significantly speeding up initial access.

Flexible Full Loading​

  • In-Scenario: Click the new button at the bottom of the interface to load the full unit dataset once you are inside.
  • From Tree: Right-click a scenario and select "Load Full Dataset" to bypass light loading and fetch everything from the start.

Custom Bid Sequencing​

Advanced users can now create custom command sequences for specialized bidding scenarios.

  • Hybrid Bid Loading: You can now overlay Custom Bids on top of Historical Bids.
  • Automated Sequences: Configure your scenarios to automatically pull historical data and apply your custom bid adjustments in a single automated workflow.
