An Indirect Method for Solving Non-Linear Optimal Control Problems in Power Systems-Part 1

Abstract

This paper describes the application of quasilinearization algorithm and its various modifications to solve the non-linear optimal control problems in power systems. Results obtained by this indirect numerical technique are compared to those obtained by other, direct methods. It is shown that a proposed hybrid approach, in conjunction with the continuation method, can be considered as an effective iterative procedure for most practical problems in power systems.
