Subsequently, the fuzzification of the VVS matrix between nodes is used to derive the membership degree matrix. Next, based on the membership relationship between reactive power source nodes, these nodes are pre-partitioned, and the number of leading nodes and zones alongside are preliminarily determined. Then, the range of the branch to be cut is established, guided by the reactive power flow direction of the branch. Employing the zonal comprehensive coupling degree as the objective function of the BPSO facilitates the identification of optimal branch cutting points, thereby determining the partitioning outcome.

This paper introduces a novel two-stage joint energy and reserve market for prosumers, wherein local flexible resources are fully utilized to manage renewable generation uncertainty. In contrast to cooperative optimization methods, the interactions between prosumers are modelled as a generalized Nash game (GNG), considering that prosumers are self-interested and should follow distribution network constraints. Then, linear decision rules are employed to ensure a feasible market equilibrium and develop a privacy-preserving algorithm to guide prosumers toward the market equilibrium with a proven convergence.

Most existing algorithms, such as Benders decomposition and column-and-constraint generation (C&CG), focus on robust optimization with decision-independent uncertainty (DIU). However, increasingly common decision-dependent uncertainties (DDUs) in power systems are frequently overlooked. When DDUs are considered, traditional algorithms for robust optimization with DIUs become inapplicable. This is because the previously selected worst-case scenarios may fall outside the uncertainty set when the first-stage decision changes, causing traditional algorithms to fail to converge. This study provides a general solution algorithm for robust optimization with DDU, which is called dual C&CG. Its convergence and optimality are proven theoretically. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the dual C&CG algorithm, we used the do-not-exceed limit (DNEL) problem as an example.

However, this method may not accurately represent the operating status of a system owing to changes in the power generation structure during the planning process. To address this limitation, this paper introduces a closed-loop framework for representative day selection within the context of generation and transmission expansion planning (G&TEP), incorporating demand response (DR). The framework comprises three layers: representative day selection, planning decisions, and long-term operational simulation. Initially, an approach for selecting representative days is proposed by combining the clustering and optimization-based methods.
