A robust security-constrained unit commitment (robust SCUC) model is proposed in this paper to enhance the operational reliability of integrated electricity-natural gas system (IEGS) against possible transmission line outages. In this work, adjustable capability of natural gas contract is considered to avoid dramatic changes in real-time gas demand. Distributed natural gas storage is also included to smooth out power system demand curve and further improve operational efficiency at normal state and during contingencies. Nonlinear and nonconvex natural gas flow functions are relaxed into second-order cone (SOC) constraints, then the SOC-based column and constraint generation method is adopted to solve the proposed two-stage robust convex optimization problem. In this iterative method, the security-check subproblem feeds back worst case constraints to the first-stage master problem, until no violated scenarios can be detected. Simulations tested on 6-bus-6-node and 118-bus-10-node IEGS with natural gas storage show that the proposed storage model is effective in the robust SCUC solution for IEGS considering possible N - k contingencies with limited natural gas adjustments.
