Robust linear control of nonconvex battery operation in transmission   systems
  We describe a robust multiperiod transmission plan- ning model including renewables and batteries, where battery output is used to partly offset renewable output deviations from forecast. A central element is a nonconvex battery operation model which is used with a robust model of forecast errors and a linear control scheme. Even though the problem is nonconvex we provide an efficient and theoretically valid algorithm that effectively solves cases on large transmission systems. Index Terms. Batteries, control, robust optimization.
