The Beauty of Power Networks Flexibility: Optimal Dispatch, Complexity and Nonlinearity

This is the second video on the flexibility of active distribution networks. Part I (introduction):    • The Beauty of Power Networks Flexibil...  

In this video, I simulate numerous feasible operating points of a distribution network to illustrate the complexity of the optimal (least-cost) flexible unit dispatch. I then discuss the nonlinearity of aggregated flexibility provision and potential unit coordination issues. For example, some units have to exchange (swap) flexible power or perform rapid P-Q flexibility control. Hope you enjoy these simulations!
