  • Patent number: 11689024
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a two-side stochastic dispatching method for a power grid. By analyzing historical data of wind power, the Gaussian mixture distribution is fitted by software. For certain power system parameters, a two-side chance-constrained stochastic dispatching model is established. The hyperbolic tangent function is used to analyze and approximate cumulative distribution functions of random variables in the reserve demand constraint and the power flow constraint, to convert the two-side chance constraint into a deterministic constraint. The disclosure can have the advantage of using the hyperbolic tangent function to convert the two-side chance constraint containing risk levels and random variables into the solvable deterministic convex constraint, effectively improving the solution efficiency of the model, and providing decision makers with a more reasonable dispatching basis.
