    • The impact of uncertainty and time structure on optimal flexibility scheduling in active distribution networks 

      Kara, Güray; Pisciella, Paolo; Tomasgard, Asgeir; Farahmand, Hossein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The authors focus on a model for system operators that uses centralized scheduling of multiple flexibility assets and services to minimize the cost of managing problems with grid congestion, voltages, and losses. The model ...
    • Representation of uncertainty in market models for operational planning and forecasting in renewable power systems: a review 

      Haugen, Mari; Farahmand, Hossein; Jaehnert, Stefan; Fleten, Stein-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      As the power system is becoming more weather-dependent and integrated to meet decarbonization targets, the level and severity of uncertainty increase and inevitably introduce higher risk of demand rationing or economic ...
