Optimal Water–Power Flow-Problem: Formulation and Distributed Optimal Solution

Algorithms for distributed solution of the Optimal Power Flow problem

Modern power networks often have partitioned structures, with disjoint parts of the network being operated by competing agents. It is therefore of significant interest to be able to solve the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem for the entire network in a distributed manner without requiring significant exchange of sensitive operational information between rival operators. For networks whose regio...

DC Optimal Power Flow Formulation and Solution Using QuadProgJ∗

Nonlinear AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problems are commonly approximated by linearized DC OPF problems to obtain real power solutions for restructured wholesale power markets. We first present a standard DC OPF problem, which has the numerically desirable form of a strictly convex quadratic programming (SCQP) problem when voltage angles are eliminated by substitution. We next augment this stand...

DC Optimal Power Flow Formulation in AMES

This study reviews the form of the ISO’s DC Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem in the AMES wholesale power market testbed.

Distribution Expansion Problem: Formulation and Practicality for a Multistage Globally Optimal Solution

Despite numerous research efforts of the past 40 years in the area of distribution expansion, a clear definition of the problem, and a truly multistage formulation that addresses practical concerns is yet to be developed. In this paper, the problem is clearly defined and analyzed from a practical point of view. A directed graph minimum edge cost network flow modeling of the problem for a truly ...
