Optimal Dispatch of a Virtual Power Plant Considering Distributed Energy Resources Under Uncertainty by Obed N. Onsomu, Erman Terciyanlı, Bülent Yeşilata

“…This study thoroughly explores the dispatch of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) and diesel generators (DGs) through a distributionally robust joint chance-constrained optimization (DR-JCCO) framework utilizing the conditional value at risk (CVaR) and heuristic-X (H-X) algorithm, structured as a bilevel optimization problem. Furthermore, Binomial expansion (BE) is employed to linearize the model, enabling the assessment of BESS dispatch through a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPECs). …”
