Downloading Market Data

The market data consists of real-time, week-ahead, and day-ahead data. These are downloaded from the IEMOP website and should be saved in their respective folders under C:\IENERGY\WESMXXXX\WESM FILES.

note

The historical load will not run successfully if the data is incomplete. To prevent this, the -checkinputs command ensures that all required data is complete before running the historical load.
