Overcapacity in European power systems: Analysis and robust optimization approach

Michel Bierlaire, François Maréchal, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Stefano Moret

The planning of national power systems is traditionally based on long-term forecasts of electricity demand and fuel prices. However, over such long time horizons (20-50 years), these forecasts often prove to be inaccurate. As an example, wrong projections ...
