An inexact robust nonlinear optimization method for energy systems planning under uncertainty

In this study, an interval-robust nonlinear optimization (IRNO) method is developed for planning energy system and managing CO2 emissions with trading scheme, through incorporating interval-parameter programming (IPP) within a robust optimization (RO) framework. In the modeling formulation, two recourse actions were adopted to make the model robustness.One of recourse actions was launched to capture the notion of risk in stochastic programming. …
