A Multi-Objective Decision-Making Method for Optimal Scheduling Operating Points in Integrated Main-Distribution Networks with Static Security Region Constraints by Kang Xu, Zhaopeng Liu, Shuaihu Li

“…Thirdly, a risk assessment matrix is constructed through optimal power flow calculations across multiple load levels, with the index weights determined via principal component analysis (PCA). Subsequently, a scheduling optimization model is formulated to minimize both the system generation costs and the comprehensive risk, where the adaptive grid density-improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization (AG-MOPSO) algorithm is employed to efficiently generate Pareto-optimal operating point solutions. …”
