Uncertainty-Aware Three-Phase Optimal Power Flow Based on Data-Driven Convexification

摘要

This letter presents a novel optimization framework of formulating the three-phase optimal power flow that involves uncertainty. The proposed uncertainty-aware optimization (UaO) framework is: 1) a deterministic framework that is less complex than the existing optimization frameworks involving uncertainty, and 2) convex such that it admits polynomial-time algorithms and mature distributed optimization methods. To construct this UaO framework, a methodology of learning-aided uncertainty-aware modeling, with prediction errors of stochastic variables as the measurement of uncertainty, and a theory of data-driven convexification are proposed. Theoretically, the UaO framework is applicable for modeling general optimization problems under uncertainty.
