A Robust Second-Order Conic Programming Model with Effective Budget of Uncertainty in Optimal Power Flow Problem

Abstract

Integrating large-scale wind energy in modern power systems is demanding more efficient mathematical models to properly address classical assumptions in power system problems. In particular, there are two main assumptions in power system problems with wind integration that have not been adequately studied yet; First, non-linear AC power flow equations have been linearized in most of the literature. Such simplifications can lead to inaccurate power flow calculations that may result in other technical issues. Second, wind power uncertainties are inevitable and have been mostly modelled using the traditional uncertainty modelling approaches, that may not be suitable for large-scale wind power integration. In this paper, we address both challenges: we present a tight second-order conic relaxation (SOCR) for optimal power flow (OPF) problem, and simultaneously, implement the new effective budget of uncertainty approach for uncertainty modelling that determines the maximum wind power admissibility first and then addresses the uncertainty in the model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that proposes an effective robust second-order conic programming (ERSOCP) model that simultaneously addresses the issues of power flow linearization and wind power uncertainty with the new paradigm on the budget of uncertainty approach. Our numerical results show the merit of the proposed model against traditional linearized power flow equations as well as traditional uncertainty modelling approaches.

“…Optical dipoles can be incorporated into dielectrics (such as polymers and glasses) and conveniently integrated with metal SPP structures (Salama & Youssef, 2018;Zhang et al, 2022). Although the solubility limit of dyes may be very high, the concentrations used in practice are far lower because of concentration-dependent effects that limit the excited state population density (such as Forster energy transfer between dipoles) or reduce the quantum efficiency and lifetime of the dipoles (such as the formation of dimers or clusters).…”
