Description of the course
This is a broad EES-UETP Summer School to be held at DTU in June 2017. This course shall cover the modern challenges in power system operation and electricity market from an optimization perspective. This summer school is open to MSc students, PhD students and industry professionals. This course will provide the participants with diverse activities including tutorial, lecture, and group-based projects. In the tutorial sessions, the mathematical principles of several advanced optimization techniques and their applications to power systems and electricity markets will be presented. These techniques are:
- Uncertainty modeling techniques, such as stochastic programming and robust optimization,
- Distributed optimization and decomposition techniques,
- Convex relaxation techniques based on semi-definite programming and conic optimization,
- Game-theoretic methods in renewable-dominant electricity markets.
In the lecture sessions, based on the modern optimization techniques covered during the tutorial sessions, world-renowned teachers will give lectures on some real-world challenges of power systems, such as:
- Electricity market design under renewable uncertainty: incentives, pros and cons
- Convex relaxation of AC optimal power flow
- Future power systems with 100% renewables
