Distributionally Robust Ideal Power Circulation with Contextual Details

The researchers Adrián Esteban-Pérez and Juan M. Morales develop a distributionally durable chance-constrained solution of the Optimal Power Flow problem (OPF), where the system operator can leverage contextual data. For this purpose, they utilized an ambiguity collection based on probability trimmings and optimum transportation. This way, the dispatch service is safeguarded against the incomplete...
