The technique employed is based on:
Stochastic approach: creation of temporally and spatially coherent scenarios for the internal generation and load of the distribution system and the rest of the NIS (National Interconnected System).
Sampling: both time series and non-parametric sampling techniques are used for sampling generation and load scenarios.
Integration: the internal system of the distributor and its relations with the NIS are integrated to create load and generation scenarios.
Simulation horizon: the multi-year simulation horizon (4 years) is discretized into 15-minute time intervals, and power flow simulations are performed for each temporal discretization.
Analysis: firstly, all cases corresponding to 15-minute temporal discretizations are probed by linearized power flow without losses, and then simulations are run for the most severe cases at the connection points, with loss representation.
Integrated contracting: the MUSD/MUST (Maximum Contracted Demand/Maximum Contracted Energy) is contracted under a risk criterion using a classic mathematical programming approach.
