Abstract: Semidefinite Programming is met with increasing interest
within the power systems community. Its most notable application to-date
is a convex formulation of the AC optimal power flow problem. At the
same time, semidefinite programs can be applied on LMI conditions to
derive Lyapunov functions that guarantee power system stability. In this
talk we will report on recent work both on power system stability and
optimization. First, we will present a novel robust stability toolbox
for power grids with its extensions to inertia mimicking and topology
control. In that, the quadratic Lyapunov functions approach is
introduced for transient stability assessment. Second, we will propose
formulations for the integration of chance constraints for different
types of uncertainty in the AC optimal power flow problem. We
demonstrate our method with numerical examples, and we investigate the
conditions to achieve zero relaxation gap.
