Long-term energy management for microgrid with hybrid
Previous research mainly focuses on the short-term energy management of microgrids with H-BES. Two-stage robust optimization is proposed in [11] for the market operation of H-BES, where the uncertainties from RES are modeled by uncertainty sets. A two-stage distributionally robust optimization-based coordinated scheduling of an integrated energy system with H-BES is
