Robust Capacity Expansion under Wildfire Ignition Risk and High Renewable Penetration

Jean-Paul Watson, Ryan Piansky, Tom\'as Tapia, Yury Dvorkin

A robust optimization model finds optimal battery storage placements and transmission line undergrounding to handle worst-case wildfire de-energization combined with renewable variability.

Claims

C1strongest claim

This paper addresses (i) the worst-case realization of ignition risk leading to the de-energization of transmission lines, combined with the worst-case realization of renewable energy availability, and (ii) the optimal investment decisions for energy storage capacity and undergrounding of transmission lines that are exposed to ignition risk.

C2weakest assumption

That representative weeks and uncertainty sets sufficiently capture the temporal relationships and extreme scenarios of ignition risk and renewable availability.

C3one line summary

A robust optimization model optimizes battery storage locations and transmission line undergrounding under worst-case wildfire de-energization combined with renewable uncertainty, formulated as MILP and solved via column-and-constraint generation on the San Diego power system.
