A reliability-constrained planning model for antarctic electricity
Finally, the online-offline numerical approach is proposed to speed up the online computation. The validity and feasibility of the proposed method is verified on the actual Antarctic energy system. The results indicate that the optimal allocation results calculated by proposed method can guarantee the reliable supply of the Antarctic energy system.
