Due to the relationship between active and reactive power generation, this uncertainty affects both active and reactive power markets and deprives those units of the opportunity to participate in both markets. Therefore, providing an accurate model of participation in the active and reactive power market, considering the existing uncertainty and its related forecasting errors, will help those units to be able to compete with others in the active and reactive power market.

However, when the system involves high-dimensional random variables, such as multiple solar or wind farms, the curse of dimensionality associated with this method leads to a slow convergence rate of Wasserstein ambiguity sets. Therefore, it is essential to explore novel ambiguity sets which can effectively address the dimensionality problem. This paper proposes a distributionally robust optimal power flow model based on a multi-transport hyperrectangle ambiguity set to tackle the uncertainties in wind power. First, this paper presents the multi-transport hyperrectangle, which resolves the curse of dimensionality issue associated with Wasserstein ambiguity sets. Furthermore, the wind power curtailment cost in the objective function is reformulated into a tractable form using duality theory, enabling commercial solvers to provide efficient solutions. Finally, tests conducted on the modified IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems demonstrate that the proposed ambiguity set maintains a stable convergence rate under high-dimensional random variables without rapid deterioration as the sample size increases.

Accordingly, this paper proposes a novel approach for decentralized management of unbalanced operation in MADSs. The approach leverages a customized alternating direction method of multipliers to facilitate decentralized decision-making, while incorporating transactive energy signals aligned with the alternating direction method of multiplier framework to enable independent agent operation. In this scheme, independent agents would optimize their operating costs considering the announced transactive signals, which model the power prices and power loss in the grid. The decentralized structure enables agents to apply stochastic and condition value at risk methods to address the uncertainty and associated risk in scheduling resources. Furthermore, without violating the privacy concerns of agents, the developed transactive-based scheme facilitates minimizing the asymmetrical condition, caused by the unbalanced integration of DESs, in the power request at the connection point of MADSs and transmission networks.
