Grid complexity is increasing progressively as the deepening penetration of renewable power generation and unpredictable demand, which necessitates an exhaustive assessment of system parameters in a probabilistic manner. In this study, the authors employ a dimensional reduction integral method to tackle the above problems challenged by dimensionality. Their approach transforms the multivariate raw moments into a linear sum of several one-dimensional integrals, which could be solved by Gauss quadrature. To handle the correlation between non-Gaussian input variables, Nataf transformation is used to map the inputs into the independent normal domain. Instead of commonly used series expansion such as A-type Gram–Charlier, Edgeworth or Cornish–Fisher, the probability distributions of output variables can be better approximated by C-type Gram–Charlier series with the calculated moments. The salient feature of the proposed method is demonstrated in a modified IEEE 118-bus test system with respect to both accuracy and run times.
