    This paper discusses distributionally robust geometric programs with individual and joint chance constraints. Seven groups of uncertainty sets are considered: uncertainty sets with first two order moments information, uncertainty sets constrained by the Kullback-Leibler divergence distance with a normal reference distribution or a discrete reference distribution, uncertainty sets with known first moments or known first … Read more

    For a mixed-integer linear problem (MIP) with uncertain constraints, the radius of robust feasibility (RRF) determines a value for the maximal “size” of the uncertainty set such that robust feasibility of the MIP can be guaranteed. To the best of our knowledge, the approaches for the RRF presented in the literature are restricted to continuous … Read more

    The exceptional benefits of wind power as an environmentally responsible renewable energy resource have led to an increasing penetration of wind energy in today’s power systems. This trend has started to reshape the paradigms of power system operations, as dealing with uncertainty caused by the highly intermittent and uncertain wind power becomes a significant issue. … Read more

    To handle significant variability in loads, renewable energy generation, as well as various contingencies, two-stage robust optimization method has been adopted to construct unit commitment models and to ensure reliable solutions. In this paper, we further explore and extend the modeling capacity of two-stage robust optimization and present two new robust unit commitment variants, the … Read more
