Improved Multi-Dimensional Holomorphic Embedding-Based Approximate Dynamic Programming for Stochastic Optimal Power Flow of Active Distribution Network

Abstract: The optimal power flow (OPF) problem of active distribution network (ADN) is a stochastic, nonconvex, and nonlinear problem. Although several algorithms have been presented to solve this ...
