Method for Wind–Solar–Load Extreme Scenario Generation Based on an Improved InfoGAN

In recent years, extreme events have frequently occurred, and the extreme uncertainty of the source-demand side of high-ratio renewable energy systems poses a great challenge to the safe operation of power systems. Accurately generating extreme scenarios related to the source-demand side under a high percentage of new power systems is vital for the safe operation of power systems and the assessment of their reliability. However, at this stage, methods for extreme scenario generation that fully consider the correlation between wind power, solar power, and load are lacking. To address these problems, this paper proposes a method for extreme scenario generation based on information-maximizing generative adversarial networks (InfoGANs) for high-proportion renewable power systems. The example analysis shows that the method for extreme scenario generation proposed in this paper can fully explore the correlation between historical wind–solar–load data, greatly improve the accuracy with which extreme scenarios are generated, and provide effective theories and methodologies for the safe operation of a new type of power system.
