With the increasing penetration of distributed generation (DG), integrated main-distribution networks (IMDNs) face challenges in rapidly and effectively performing comprehensive operational risk assessments under multiple uncertainties. Thereby, using the traditional hierarchical economic scheduling method makes it difficult to accurately find the optimal scheduling operating point. To address this problem, this paper proposes a multi-objective dispatch decision-making optimization model for the IMDN with static security region (SSR) constraints. Firstly, the non-sequential Monte Carlo sampling is employed to generate diverse operational scenarios, and then the key risk characteristics are extracted to construct the risk assessment index system for the transmission and distribution grid, respectively. Secondly, a hyperplane model of the SSR is developed for the IMDN based on alternating current power flow equations and line current constraints. Thirdly, a risk assessment matrix is constructed through optimal power flow calculations across multiple load levels, with the index weights determined via principal component analysis (PCA). Subsequently, a scheduling optimization model is formulated to minimize both the system generation costs and the comprehensive risk, where the adaptive grid density-improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization (AG-MOPSO) algorithm is employed to efficiently generate Pareto-optimal operating point solutions. A membership matrix of the solution set is then established using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to identify the optimal compromised operating point for dispatch decision support. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are validated using an integrated IEEE 9-bus and IEEE 33-bus test system.
