Modeling the risk-based decisions of the microgrid in day-ahead energy and reserve markets considering stochastic dispatching of electrical and thermal energy storages by Salah Bahramara (21347576)

“…The results showed that the MGO’s expected total cost decreases when it participates in both the energy market and the reserve market in comparison with the case it only participates in the energy market. Also, the risk-based behavior of the MGO showed that increasing the robust parameter decreases the reserve provided for the market and the net power trading with the market. …”
