Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) is the key to precise wind power forecasting (WPF), which can be enhanced by the NWP correction and scenario partition techniques. However, on the one hand, existing NWP correction techniques may enlarge the volatility of ensemble NWP which disturbs the subsequent WPF. On the other hand, existing scenario partitio...

Probabilistic load flow (PLF) calculation, as a fundamental tool to analyze transmission system behavior, has been studied for decades.

In chance-constrained OPF models, joint chance constraints (JCCs) offer a stronger guarantee on security compared to single chance constraints (SCCs). Using Boole's inequality or its improved versions to decompose JCCs into SCCs is popular, yet the conservativeness introduced is still significant. In this letter, a non-parametric iterative framewor...
