Using Vine Copulas to Generate Representative System States for Machine Learning

The increasing uncertainty that surrounds electricity system operation renders security assessment a highly challenging task; the range of possible operating states expands, rendering traditional approaches based on heuristic practices and ad hoc analysis obsolete. In turn, machine learning can be used to construct surrogate models...

Using copulas for modeling stochastic dependence in power system uncertainty analysis

The increasing penetration of renewable generation in power systems necessitates the modeling of this stochastic system infeed in operation and planning studies. The system analysis leads to multivariate uncertainty analysis problems, involving non-Normal correlated random variables. In this context, the modeling of stochastic dependence is...
