  • Publication number: 20250028873
    Abstract: Disclosed a decision-dependent chance-constrained optimal model for enhancing resilience of power distribution system under renewable generation uncertainty through strategically setting-up and activating dispatchable diesel generators, renewable distributed generations, battery energy storage systems, and switchable devices. By incorporating the information of decision variables, a moment-based ambiguity set is employed to depict the uncertainty arising from renewable distributed generators. By leveraging convex approximations to handle the considered joint chance constraints, the disclosed model is transformed into a tractable mixed-integer second-order conic programming problem to be solved.
