Integrating renewable energy in the electricity mix raises several challenges for transmission and distribution system operators. A principal challenge relates to the provision of balancing services from distribution system resources, which requires that the constraints of the distribution network be carefully accounted for when deciding on the dispatch of distribution system resources. In this paper we present a mixed-integer second order cone program for solving a real-time dispatch problem where transmission and distribution are modeled in an integrated fashion. The model offers promising perspectives when tested on real instances of the Italian system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
