Regions of safe and stable operating conditions are generally non-convex. Their non-trivial shape is responsible for NP-hardness of many critical decision-making processes in power systems: optimal resource allocation, risk assessment, emergency control.
We use modern analysis and optimization techniques to construct inner approximations of the feasibility sets of simple convex shape suitable for real-time computations. Resulting approximations are then used for security assessment in the presence of renewable generation, design of optimal remedial actions and other time-critical applications.
