iPool Folder Structures
This section will cover the folders that you will frequently access.
Folder Structures
When using iPool, there are three main folders to remember:
- IENERGY Data Directory
- iPool Suite Program Directory
- Working Folder.
| Folder | Folder Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IENERGY Data Directory | C:\IENERGY | Contains the main working directory and the Defaults.csv file, which defines the correct folder locations used by iEnergy. |
| iPool Suite Program Directory | C:\Program Files\iPool (all users) or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\iPool (only for me) | Contains iPoolSuite.exe and the engine iPool.exe. The Bid Manager programs (such as bidmanager-aggregator.exe, bidmanager-generator.exe and bidmanager-converter.exe) are in its resources\engine folder. Older iPool versions were installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\iEnergy. |
| Working Folder | C:\IENERGY\WESMXXXX | User-defined working folder for a specific WESM case (e.g., WESM2511T). |
note
Each WESMXXXX folder represents a unique working folder for a specific time period or case study.
