| contents | Power grid expansion planning requires making large investment decisions in the present that will impact the future cost and reliability of a system exposed to wide-ranging uncertainties. Extreme temperatures can pose significant challenges to providing power by increasing demand and decreasing supply and have contributed to recent major power outages. We propose to address a modeling challenge of such high-impact, low-frequency events with a bi-objective stochastic integer optimization model that finds solutions with different trade-offs between efficiency in normal conditions and risk to extreme events. We propose a conditional sampling approach paired with a risk measure to address the inherent challenge in approximating the risk of low-frequency events within a sampling based approach. We present a model for spatially correlated, county-specific temperatures and a method to generate both unconditional and conditionally extreme temperature samples from this model efficiently. These models are investigated within an extensive case study with realistic data that demonstrates the effectiveness of the bi-objective approach and the conditional sampling technique. We find that spatial correlations in the temperature samples are essential to finding good solutions and that modeling generator temperature dependence is an important consideration for finding efficient, low-risk solutions. |
