description This study addresses the critical yet often overlooked aspect of incorporating correlations among input stochastic variables in power system planning and scheduling optimization. While existing literature has extensively focused on uncertainty modelling, there remains a gap in fully assessing the consequences of disregarding correlations on objective function values across different power network sizes.
