AI summary

A method of optimizing resource allocation based on adaptive multi-faceted cutting of a power dispatching model is provided. The method includes constructing and analyzing a two-stage distributed robust model by using acquired operation state information of a power system and identifying therefrom a second-stage infinite-dimensional decision variable. A model is reconstructed by dimensionality reduction and a dispatching model is solved to obtain a dispatching strategy scheme for realizing optimal resource allocation. The two-stage distributed robust dispatching model is transformed into a finite-dimensional problem, so that rapid solution is realized. By improving the solving efficiency and the accuracy of the power dispatching model, the working efficiency of the power system is obviously improved.
