contents Robust dynamic operating envelopes (RDOEs) solve the problem of secure allocation of latent network capacity to flexible distributed energy resources (DER) in unbalanced distribution networks. As the computational complexity of RDOEs is much higher than that of dynamic operating envelopes (DOEs), which disregard uncertainties in network parameters and DER capacity utilisation, existing approaches to computing RDOEs have relied on linearised unbalanced three-phase optimal power flow (UTOPF) models to numerate the network feasible region approximately. The use of linearised models, however, risks producing RDOEs that undermine network integrity due to inherent errors in the approximation. This letter presents a practical sensitivity-filtering technique to simplify RDOE numerical computation based on non-convex UTOPF formulations. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach are demonstrated on RDOE allocation with various fairness metrics by testing on representative Australian distribution networks.
