Day-ahead Security Assessment under Uncertainty Relying on the Combination of Preventive and Corrective Controls to Face Worst-Case Scenarios

Abstract

peer reviewedThis paper deals with day-ahead static security assessment with respect to a postulated set of contingencies while taking into account uncertainties about the next day system conditions. We propose a heuristic approach to check whether, given some assumptions regarding these uncertainties, the worst case with respect to each contingency is still controllable by appropriate combinations of preventive and corrective actions. This approach relies on the solution of successive optimal power flow (OPF) and security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) problems of a special type. The interest of the approach is shown by illustrative examples on the Nordic32 system
