The distribution grid experiences node voltage fluctuations due to the growing uncertainty of large-scale renewable energy sources A practical solution is establishing a chance-constrained optimal model to deal with the uncertainties. However, using this method needs to know the accurate probability distribution of node power injections, which has limitations in application. Therefore, this paper proposes a distributionally robust chance-constrained optimization method for power grid operation based on the ambiguity set of probability distributions. Firstly, considering voltage security constraints, this paper establishes a chance-constrained model to minimize the cost of active power regulation. Besides, based on the Wasserstein ambiguity set, a linearized method is proposed to convexify the objective function. Moreover, the conditional risk value (CVaR) is applied to convert the uncertain model into a deterministic model. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through optimization results obtained for the modified PG&E69-bus distribution grid.
