Multi-Period Do-Not-Exceed Limit for Variable Renewable Generation Dispatch Considering Discrete Recourse Controls

Abstract

The do-not-exceed (DNE) limit method was proposed to accommodate more variable renewable generation (VRG) securely. However, the lack of involving discrete recourse control precludes this method from gaining more flexibility for better VRG integration. This letter formulates a multi-period DNE limit model considering continuous and discrete recourse controls. This model belongs to two-stage robust optimization with mixed integer recourse. A nested column-and-constraint generation approach is employed to solve this model. Case studies show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
