| description | In recent years, the deployment of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) tie-lines in power grids has become a prevalent solution in some countries to transmit renewable energy from remote locations to load centers. However, the variability and uncertainty associated with renewable energy generation pose challenges to effectively utilizing this technology. This work proposes a novel multistage planning-operation model, aiming to unlock the potential flexibility in the HVDC transmission system and increase the renewable penetration. By incorporating flexibility, which is essential for accommodating the uncertainty in renewable generation, our model optimally shares the inter-regional flexibility between the sending- and receiving-end grids. One of the key features of our proposed model is its robustness and non-anticipativity, meaning it can account for different levels of uncertainty and make decisions that are suitable for multiple scenarios. This work develops two solution approaches to solve this challenging multistage model with variable uncertainty sets. We validate the proposed approach through a case study conducted on a real-world inter-regional grid. The numerical results demonstrate that our approach effectively unlocks more inter-regional flexibility and assists in increasing the renewable hosting capacity. |
