Comparative studies of optimization methods for the optimal power flow problem

摘要

In this paper we have investigated three optimization approaches for solving the optimal power flow (OPF) problem: active set and penalty (ASP), primal-dual (PD), and primal-dual logarithmic-barrier (PDLB). All three approaches are Newton-based methods. This paper compares the main features of the above and reviews their methodologies. Results obtained in performance tests with traditional networks are summarized.
