The escalating installation of distributed generation (DG) within active distribution networks (ADNs) diminishes the reliance on fossil fuels, yet it intensifies the disparity between demand and generation across various regions. Moreover, due to the intermittent and stochastic characteristics, DG also introduces uncertain forecasting errors, which further increase difficulties for power dispatch. To overcome these challenges, an emerging flexible interconnection device, soft open point (SOP), is introduced. A distributionally robust chance-constrained optimization (DRCCO) model is also proposed to effectively exploit the benefits of SOPs in ADNs under uncertainties. Compared with conventional robust, stochastic and chance-constrained models, the DRCCO model can better balance reliability and economic profits without the exact distribution of uncertainties. More-over, unlike most published works that employ two individual chance constraints to approximate the upper and lower bound constraints (e.g, bus voltage and branch current limitations), joint two-sided chance constraints are introduced and exactly reformulated into conic forms to avoid redundant conservativeness. Based on numerical experiments, we validate that SOPs' employment can significantly enhance the energy efficiency of ADNs by alleviating DG curtailment and load shedding problems. Simulation results also confirm that the proposed joint two-sided DRCCO method can achieve good balance between economic efficiency and reliability while reducing the conservativeness of conventional DRCCO methods.

Coping with noise in computing is an important problem to consider in large systems. With applications in fault tolerance (Hastad et al., 1987;Pease et al., 1980;Pippenger et al., 1991), noisy sorting (Shah and Wainwright, 2018;Agarwal et al., 2017;Falahatgar et al., 2017;Heckel et al., 2019;Wang et al., 2024a;Gu and Xu, 2023;Kunisky et al., 2024), noisy searching (Berlekamp, 1964;Horstein, 1963;Burnashev and Zigangirov, 1974;Pelc, 1989;Karp and Kleinberg, 2007), among many others, the goal is to devise algorithms with the minimum number of queries that are robust enough to detect and correct the errors that can happen during the computation. In this work, we consider the noisy computing of the threshold-k function. For n Boolean variables x = (x1, ..., xn) ∈ {0, 1}n, the threshold-k function THk(·) computes whether the number of 1's in x is at least k or not, i.e., (Equation presented) The noisy queries correspond to noisy readings of the bits, where at each time step, the agent queries one of the bits, and with probability p, the wrong value of the bit is returned. It is assumed that the constant p ∈ (0, 1/2) is known to the agent. Our goal is to characterize the optimal query complexity for computing the THk function with error probability at most δ. This model for noisy computation of the THk function has been studied by Feige et al. (1994), where the order of the optimal query complexity is established;however, the exact tight characterization of the optimal number of queries is still open. In this paper, our main contribution is tightening this gap by providing new upper and lower bounds for the computation of the THk function, which simultaneously improve the existing upper and lower bounds. The main result of this paper can be stated as follows: for any 1 ≤ k ≤ n, there exists an algorithm that computes the THk function with an error probability at most δ = o(1), and the algorithm uses at most (Equation presented) queries in expectation. Here we define m (Eq
