Abstract: In this paper, a robust solution algorithm has been presented for SCUC problem including the uncertainties of wind power generation (WPG). Different flexibility resources have been considered in the proposed model, namely, transmission switching (TS) action and energy storage (ES) systems for managing the uncertainty risk of significant penetration of WPGs to sustain the load-generation balance. Indeed, the flexibility resources have been allocated using a robust optimization model based on the information gap decision theory (IGDT). That is, the IGDT reveals the robust optimal decision variables against the wind power uncertainties without requiring the probability density function of WPGs that leads to low computational burden. The optimization SCUC model is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming (MIP), being solved by proposed effective solution strategy based on Benders decomposition (BD) technique. Numerical simulation results on the modified 6-bus system and IEEE 118-bus system, clearly demonstrate the benefits of applying flexibility resources for managing the high penetration of WPG uncertainty and validate the applicability of the proposed IGDT-based SCUC model.
