“…Most existing methods use clustering [19,[22][23][24] or sampling methods to reduce the number of scenarios from a randomly generated initial set. In a recent review article, Park et al [25] compared four methods for scenario reduction using a two-stage stochastic transmission planning model, including random sampling, importance sampling [26], the distance-based method [17,27,28], iterative scenario reduction approaches, and stratified scenario sampling [25]. They used these methods to reduce a whole set of 20 scenarios to smaller subsets and compared their pros and cons.…”
