Increasing distributed energy resources (DERs) may result in reactive power imbalance in a transmission power system (TPS). An active distribution power system (DPS) having DERs reportedly can work as a reactive power prosumer to help balance the reactive power in the TPS. The reactive power potential (RPP) of a DPS, which is the range between the maximal inductive and capacitive reactive power that the DPS can reliably provide, should be accurately estimated. However, an accurate estimation is difficult because of the network constraints, mixed discrete and continuous variables, and the considerable uncertainty in the DPS. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a robust RPP estimation method based on two-stage robust optimization, where the uncertainty in DERs and the boundary-bus voltage is considered. In this two-stage robust model, the RPP is pre-estimated in the first stage and its robust feasibility for any possible instance of the uncertainty is checked via a tractable problem in the second stage. The column-and-constraint generation algorithm is adopted, which solves this model in finite iterations. Case studies show that this robust method yields a completely reliable RPP, and also that a DPS, even under the uncertainty, is still an effective reactive power prosumer for the TPS.
