Abstract

In power systems, we still lack the existence of standardized test systems that can be used to benchmark the performance and solution quality of proposed optimization techniques. It is therefore necessary to develop new methods for design of test cases for economic analysis in power systems. We compared two methods to generate test systems: time series and a method for simulating stable random variables that can be used to multiperiod unit commitment based on the use of Chambers-Mallows-Stuck. Hence, after comparing both methods, we describe the method for simulating stable random variables in the generation of test systems for economic analysis in power systems. A study focused on generating test electrical systems through fat tail model for unit commitment problem in electrical power systems is presented. Usually, the instances of test systems in Unit Commitment are generated using normal distribution, but in this work, simulations data are based on alpha-stable distribution. Numerical results illustrate the applicability of the proposed method.
