Next Steps

You have completed the Cobre tutorial: you installed the tool, ran a complete study with the 1dtoy template, inspected the case files, and interpreted the output. This page points you to the resources that go deeper.

Configuration

The config.json file controls every aspect of how training and simulation are run: stopping rules, forward pass counts, simulation scenario counts, and more. The configuration guide documents every field with examples.

• Configuration — complete config.json field reference

System Modeling

The tutorial uses a minimal single-bus, one-hydro, two-thermal system. Real studies model transmission networks, cascaded hydro plants, and many thermal units. The system modeling guides explain every entity type and its parameters.

• Hydro Plants — reservoir bounds, turbine models, cascade linkage
• Thermal Units — piecewise cost curves, generation limits
• Network Topology — buses, transmission lines, and flow constraints

CLI Reference

All subcommands (run, validate, report, version), their flags, exit codes, and environment variables are documented in the CLI reference.

• CLI Reference — subcommand synopsis, options, and examples

Methodology and Theory

The methodology reference describes the mathematical foundations of the solver: the stochastic optimization formulation, the PAR(p) scenario model, the cut management strategy, and the convergence theory. This is the right place to start if you want to understand what the solver is doing, not just how to use it.

• Methodology Reference — full theory documentation (external)

API Documentation

The Rust API for all workspace crates is generated from inline doc comments. To build and open it locally:

cargo doc --workspace --no-deps --open

This opens the documentation for all 10 workspace crates in your browser. The cobre-core crate documents the entity model; cobre-sddp documents the training loop and cut management types.

Contributing

If you find a bug, want to add a feature, or want to improve the documentation, the contributing guide explains how to set up the development environment, run the test suite, and submit a pull request.
