Calculation of Dispatchable Region for Renewables with Advanced Computational Techniques

Dispatchable region for renewables (DRR) depicts a space for renewables that a power system operator can manage by dispatching controllable resources. The DRR can be used to evaluate the distance from an operating point to a secure boundary and identify ramping events with the highest risk. However, existing approaches based on MILP reformulation or iteration-based LP algorithms may be computationally challenging. This paper investigates if advanced computation techniques, including high-performance computing and parallel computing techniques, can improve the computational performance.
