What this issue is
A side-by-side inventory of every battery PLEXOS ships in the
Draft 2026 ISP Step Change Model.xml against the batteries IASR ships
for the equivalent 7.5 workbook. The IASR side is drawn from two
workbook tables:
new_entrants_summary(the 1h/2h/4h/8h + DistributedResources batteries) and
consumer_energy_resources_summary(theCoordinated CER Storages and V2G batteries, Fuel type == Battery).
Two tables follow — one for REZ-level batteries (keyed by REZ ID +
duration), one for sub-region-level batteries (keyed by sub-region +
duration). Each row shows the IASR name, the PLEXOS name, which IASR
table the match came from, the PLEXOS
Max Units Builtvalue, andwhich
ExportGroup_*constraints (if any) the PLEXOS object is amember of.
The headline of why this exists: working through the custom-constraints
templater turned up several non-obvious choices in how PLEXOS represents
batteries (multiple LP variables per physical battery, most with
Max Units Built = 0; 4h variants present as objects but absent fromthe export constraints; CER/V2G batteries that live in a separate IASR
table ISPyPSA doesn't currently template). This is a static record of
those facts that other workstreams can refer back to.
Key findings
LP variable counts:
committed plants (or other non-new-entrant batteries) — these mostly
have
Max Units Built"Not set" or0because they're already built,not because they're non-buildable variants; they still carry their
existing capacity.
sub-region-named, and constraint-scoped variants). Only 39 of the
242 have
Max Units Built > 0(can be built); 136 areMax = 0and 67 are "Not set". PLEXOS creates several parallel LP variables per
physical new-entrant battery — e.g. a buildable sub-region-named
variant plus a
Max = 0constraint-scoped variant that sits insidethe export constraint — so most new-entrant variants are LP variables
that can never carry built capacity.
REZ-named (
Q1 Battery - 2hstyle) batteries:V3(noV3 Battery - *exists in the PLEXOS XML, despite IASR carrying it).
Q/N/S/T/V REZs; the DN1/DN2/DN3 group is counted separately),
only 10 are buildable (
Max Units Built > 0), and those sit onjust 6 REZ IDs (
N2,N3,N5,N9,Q4,T3). Every otherREZ ID's 2h and 8h objects are
Max = 0and all 4h objects are"Not set" — i.e. for the other ~32 REZ IDs, no REZ-named battery can
be built at all.
Max Units Built"Not set" andis absent from every
ExportGroup_*constraint. The PLEXOS defaultbehaviour for unset
Max Units Builtis not confirmed (see openquestions); could be "unlimited" or "0".
ExportGroup_*constraintsare exclusively 2h and 8h — none at 4h. Examples:
Q1 Battery - 2h/8hinExportGroup_NQ1;Q4 Battery - 2h/8hinExportGroup_CQ1;S5/S7/S8 Battery - 2h/8hinExportGroup_NSA1;etc.
Sub-region-named (
SQ Battery - 2hstyle) batteries:Distributed Resources entry) across all 15 sub-regions.
Distributed Resources: 0, but the four named durations are 50000.)
(2h+4h=50000, 8h=0), NQ (4h only), GG (4h only), CNSW
(4h+8h+DR=50000), NNSW (8h only), SNSW (8h only), TAS (4h only),
WNV (4h only).
duration): CQ, SESA, SEV (sub-region-named only — see
constraint-scoped variants below).
Constraint-scoped variants (
SWQLD1 Battery - 2hstyle) — the sevengroups:
SWQLD1,SQ1,MN1,NSA1,NET1,SEVIC1,SWV1) each shipping objects at 2h, 4h, and 8h.The 2h and 8h are members of the matching
ExportGroup_*constraint; the 4h is not in any export constraint.
Max Units Built = 0. The 8hside varies — see the sub-region table for full per-group values.
Summary of the four patterns observed:
SWQLD1,SQ1— 8h constraint-scoped Max=50000, sub-region-named8h Max=0.
MN1,NSA1— 8h constraint-scoped Max=50000, sub-region-named 8hMax=50000 (both buildable, only the constraint-scoped one is in the
constraint).
SEVIC1— 8h constraint-scoped Max=0, sub-region-named 8hMax=50000.
NET1,SWV1— 8h constraint-scoped Max=0, sub-region-named 8hMax=0 (nothing buildable on either variant at either duration).

<sub-region> Battery - Coordinated CER Storages Area*(one persub-region, sometimes two — MEL, SNSW, SNW, WNV) and

Fuel type == Battery), keyed by sub-region with no duration. Theyare NOT in
new_entrants_summary, so they only show up as matcheshere because this comparison loads the CER table too.
(CER units participate in custom constraints — revisit name-matching when CER new entrants are added #104), so the custom-constraints templater can't
resolve them and drops the constraint-side references — but the gap is
"CER table not templated", not "missing from IASR".
IASR-only entries (no PLEXOS Battery counterpart):
V3 Battery - *object exists. Reason unclear; flagged as a samplefor AEMO clarification.

REZ-level batteries
Sub-region-level batteries
Includes the seven constraint-scoped prefix groups (
SWQLD1/SQ1/MN1/NSA1/NET1/SEVIC1/SWV1) since their IASR counterparts are at sub-region level, plus the Coordinated CER Storages and V2G batteries from the CER table.Open questions
What does PLEXOS treat "Not set"
Max Units Builtas? Every 4hvariant — across both REZ-named and constraint-scoped batteries —
has no
Max Units Builtproperty explicitly set. PLEXOS' default behaviourhere isn't documented in the XML; it might be "unlimited build" or
"0", and the interpretation changes whether those LP variables can
actually take capacity in PLEXOS' own dispatch. Worth confirming.
Why does PLEXOS' export-constraint coverage stop at 2h and 8h?
The 4h variants exist as Battery objects but aren't members of any
ExportGroup_*constraint. The 1h and Distributed Resourcessub-region-named variants also aren't in any export constraint.
Whether this is a deliberate "shorter durations don't bind on
sustained-period exports" call or a coverage gap isn't clear from
the XML.
Why does the constraint-scoped set's 8h
Max Units Builtsplitfour ways across the seven groups? SWQLD1/SQ1 carry buildable
capacity at 8h;
MN1/NSA1 carry it at 8h and have a parallel buildable sub-region
variant; SEVIC1 only has buildable capacity on the out-of-constraint
sub-region 8h; NET1/SWV1 have nothing buildable on either variant
at either duration. The pattern doesn't follow any obvious physical
logic.
Where is
V3 Battery - *in PLEXOS? IASR ships V3 batteries at2h, 4h, and 8h but no corresponding PLEXOS object exists. Genuine
coverage gap or modelled under a different name?
CER batteries (Coordinated CER Storages + V2G) live in
consumer_energy_resources_summary, notnew_entrants_summary.They match PLEXOS objects one-for-one (modulo the
Area*suffix),have
Max Units Builtnot set, and aren't in anyExportGroup_*.ISPyPSA doesn't currently template the CER table
(CER units participate in custom constraints — revisit name-matching when CER new entrants are added #104) — so the open item is wiring that table in,
not a missing-from-IASR data gap.
