The Melbourne Energy Institute invites you to a public lecture by Assistant Professor Ángela Flores of the University of Chile, who will discuss how power systems are facing increasing pressure from climate change.

The rise in global temperatures, more variable precipitation patterns, and the increase in frequency and severity of extreme weather events pose substantial risks for power systems across multiple time scales.

In this talk, a comprehensive power system planning model is introduced to anticipate both short and long-term uncertainties by leveraging multi-scale stochastic programming.

Furthermore, a novel approach is presented for constructing multi-scale scenario trees to represent climate-induced uncertainty, using historical weather data and future climate projections.

Finally, suitable decomposition methods for capacity planning under uncertainty and possible enhancements are explored.
