This book addresses the uncertainties of wind power modeled as interval numbers and assesses the physical modeling and methods for interval power flow, interval economic dispatch and interval robust economic dispatch. In particular, the optimization models are set up to address these topics and the state-of-the-art methods are employed to efficiently solve the proposed models. Several standard IEEE test systems as well as real-world large-scale Polish power systems have been tested to verify the effectiveness of the proposed models and methods. These methods can be further applied to other research fields that are involved with uncertainty.

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Tsinghua University Develops a new kind of operation and analysis for power systems to address the uncertainties of renewable energy Proposes new methods for solving right-hand side interval linear/nonlinear equations and optimization that can be applied to the research focusing on the interval analysis Describes robust optimization methods for finding a robust optimal scheduling that is immune to the uncertainties for industrial engineering Studies various new optimization algorithms that can be used for solving large-scale optimization problems and improve the computational efficiency Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
