DESCRIPTION:Nowadays renewable power sources are extremely imp
 ortant. However\, their unpredictability makes eff
 ective managing of power system difficult.  \nSyst
 em operators predict net demand\, where net demand
  is power produced by renewable sources subtracted
  from the total demand. The power system acts auto
 nomously to cover predicted net demand but is unab
 le to deal with errors in prediction. If the local
  supply fails to meet demand the shortfall must be
  met by imported power via interconnectors. Althou
 gh\, imported power is expensive. Our main objecti
 ve is to minimize cost by reducing power purchased
  from abroad. This can be done by scheduling of ad
 ditional conventional power plants. Ramp constrain
 ts lead to the need to carry out  pre-emptive acti
 ons.\n\nIn this talk we present an initial model f
 or considerably large prediction errors and explor
 e some properties of its optimal management.\n
