Since the penetration of RESs continues to increase in the electricity grid, some interesting research questions that could not be investigated in this thesis are discussed and formulated here as inspiration for future studies in mainly two aspects: modelling and computation.

Modelling

• Models for OPF and SCOPF considering uncertainties should be further devel-oped. Control strategies of multiple MGs should be investigated. It might be valuable to study and develop a concept of operational flexibility [106] to evaluate the capability of MGs to participate in system operations and the electricity market.

• Models of high or 100% power electronics-based grid with small or no inertia need to be studied. An MG is a good candidate for a heavy inverter-based grid, which features high penetration of renewable sources and distributed generators, as well as low inertia. A plug-and-play feature [107] with its enabler controller design and granular integration into the grid might change the basic structure of the electricity grid operation.

• Since there are few meshed MTDC systems in operation now, it would be of great value to further investigate detailed models. This includes different converters, losses models, droop control strategies and different operation schemes.

Computation

• Relaxation and approximation could be applied to reduce the complexity of calcu-lating the SCOPF under uncertainties, apart from linearisation.

• Data-driven optimisation [108, 109], online algorithms [110] and machine learn-ing [111–113] could be more suitable techniques to deal with uncertainties brought by renewable sources with advanced development in computation and communication technologies.

Convergence analysis of the FDDGA used in Chapter 5

Convergence analysis

In this section, the convergence analysis of the FDDGA introduced in Chapter 5 is provided.

Firstly, denote eλt∗ as the unique optimal solution of the proposed twice smoothed dual problem (5.30) and λt∗as an optimal solution of the dual problem (5.24). Then it gives:
