Securing an adequate supply of dispatchable resources is critical for keeping a power system reliable under high penetrations of variable generation. Traditional resource adequacy mechanisms are poorly suited to exploiting the growing…

In power systems, large-scale optimisation problems are extensively used to plan for capacity expansion at the supra-national level. However, their cost-optimal solutions are often not exploitable by decision-makers who are preferably…
