A Two-Stage Robust Optimization Method Based on the Expected Scenario for Islanded Microgrid Energy Management by Qing Duan, Wanxing Sheng, Haoqing Wang, Caihong Zhao, Chunyan Ma

“…In this study, focusing on the energy management of a typical islanded microgrid and considering uncertainties such as the power output of renewable energy sources and the power demand of loads, an expected-scenario-oriented two-stage robust optimization (E-TSRO) method is proposed to alleviate the conservative tendency of the C-TSRO method because the E-TSRO method chooses to optimize the system cost according to the expected scenario instead, while ensuring the feasibility of the first-stage variables for all possible scenarios, including the worst case. According to the structural characteristics of the proposed model based on the E-TSRO method, a column-and-constraint generation (C & CG) algorithm is utilized to solve the proposed model. …”
