Extreme Scenario Selection in Day-Ahead Power Grid Operational Planning
Abstract: We propose and analyze the application of statistical functional depth metrics for the selection of extreme scenarios in day-ahead grid planning. Our primary motivation is screening of probabilistic scenarios for realized load and renewable generation, in order to identify scenarios most relevant for operational risk mitigation. To handle the high-dimensionality of the scenarios across asset classes and intra-day periods, we employ functional measures of depth to sub-select outlying scenarios that are most likely to be the riskiest for the grid operation. We investigate a range of functional depth measures, as well as a range of operational risks, including load shedding, operational costs, reserves shortfall and variable renewable energy curtailment. The effectiveness of the proposed screening approach is demonstrated through a case study on the realistic Texas-7k grid.
