Transmission Contingency-Constrained Unit Commitment With High Penetration of Renewables via Interval Optimization

Reliability is an overriding concern for power systems that involve different types of uncertainty including contingencies and intermittent renewables. Contingency-constrained unit commitment (CCUC) satisfying the “N - 1 rule” is extremely complex, and the complexity is now compounded by the drastic increase in renewables. This paper develops a novel interval optimization approach for CCUC with N ...
