START EXPLORING
From your first model to real systems.
Install PowerBiMIP
Prepare MATLAB, YALMIP and your MILP solver. Run the installer and a first example.
Installation guide 02 / BUILD↗Write your first model
Define both levels, choose a solution method and understand the solver output.
Step-by-step tutorial 03 / APPLY↗Explore energy cases
Investigate grid vulnerability, robust energy dispatch and prediction-informed decisions.
Browse the case libraryMODELING & SOLVING
Built around the problems you study.
A structured interface for complex decisions.
Integer decisions. Both levels.
Model continuous and integer variables at the upper and lower levels, with automatic standard-form conversion and coupling-constraint handling.
Optimistic & pessimistic.
Represent different assumptions about the follower's response with support for both bilevel solution perspectives.
Choose how you solve.
Use exact formulations based on KKT conditions or strong duality, or explore quick methods for your modeling workflow.
Plan under uncertainty.
Solve two-stage robust optimization problems using C&CG. The current interface supports LP recourse; MIP recourse is planned.
