DESCRIPTION:(Joint work with Jiaying Shi)<br> The rapid penetration of ren
 ewable resources into the electricity supply mix poses challenges for the 
 efficient  dispatch of resources due to the inherent uncertainty and varia
 bility of such resources. Hence\, in order to accommodate large amounts of
  renewables in is necessary to account for their output uncertainty and mo
 bilize the flexibility of the system embedded in conventional generation\,
  demand side resources and the transmission grid. In this talk we formulat
 e a stochastic unit commitment optimization in which we expand the traditi
 onal recourse actions that are available to mitigate the adverse effect of
  renewables variability. In particular we include in these recourse action
 \, topology control through transmission switching and dynamic line rating
 s that account for the heating and cooling of transmission lines. We will 
 demonstrate the potential gains from such recourse actions through test ca
 ses and discuss heuristic approaches for alleviating the computational bur
 den resulting from such a formulation.
