Overview
This talk will introduce a number of different optimization-based decision support models and tools for the efficient planning and operation of hybrid AC/DC grids. The focus of the talk will be on how to improve the quality of cost benefits assessment methodologies for robust investment decision support on the one hand, and how to model uncertainty, and the behavior of AC and DC grid components in the context of power system reliability and security for operational decision support. The talk will also provide practical use cases and introduce a number of t open-source tools developed by KU Leuven / Etch – EnergyVille.
