In this paper, a flexibility-oriented microgrid optimal scheduling model is\nproposed to mitigate distribution network net load variability caused by large\npenetration distributed solar generation. The distributed solar generation\nvariability, which is caused by increasing adoption of this technology by\nend-use consumers, is mainly addressed by electric utilities using grid\nreinforcement. Microgrids, however, provide viable and local solutions to this\npressing challenge. The proposed model, which is developed using mixed-integer\nprogramming and employs robust optimization, not only can efficiently capture\ndistribution network net load variations, mainly in terms of ramping, but also\naccounts for possible uncertainties in forecasting. Numerical simulations on a\ntest distribution feeder with one microgrid and several consumers/prosumers\nindicate the effectiveness of the proposed model.\n
