+# 1App_ALEAF_LCGTEP
+
+## Purpose
+
+This example provides a demonstration for using WATTS to run and analyze simulations with A-LEAF (Argonne Low-carbon Electricity Analysis Framework) under various supply chain disruption scenarios. The example explores different fuel price settings to understand the impact on US nuclear capacity expansion result.
+
+
+## Code(s)
+
+- A-LEAF
+- Julia (A-LEAF dependency)
+
+## Keywords
+
+- Energy Market
+- Economic Modeling 
+
+## File descriptions
+
+- [__watts_exec.py__](watts_exec.py): WATTS workflow for this example. This is the file to execute to run the problem described above.
+- [__gcmat_template__](Fuel.txt): Fuel price for this example

+The :class:`~watts.PluginALEAF` class enables simulations with the Argonne

+input file for fuel price modification. The A-LEAF code using an excel based

+Before running the A-LEAF plugin, you need to specify the directory that the
+executable and the license key are in (they must be in the same directory). This
+can be done by adding the ``A-LEAF_DIR`` variable to the environment or by
+explicitly specifying the path in the Python script as::
+
+    aleaf_plugin = watts.PluginALEAF(
+        'aleaf_template',
+        executable="/path/to/A-LEAF"
+    )
+
+The A-LEAF plugin can be instantiated with the following command line::
+
+    aleaf_plugin = watts.PluginALEAF('aleaf_template')
+
+As with other plugins, :class:`~watts.PluginALEAF` can be used by calling the
+:meth:`~watts.PluginALEAF` instance directly the same way as other plugins.
+    aleaf_plugin = watts.PluginALEAF('aleaf_template')
+    aleaf_result = aleaf_plugin(params)
