Abstract

A prototype procedure for solving the optimal power flow problem with a quasi-Newton (variable metric) method is described. The method was developed by Powell and later extended by Berna, Locke and Westerberg. It is attractive for three reasons. First, it can accommodate optimal power flow constraints in a straightforward manner. Second, it is robust and will home in on a solution even from infeasible starting points. Third, it promises to be very fast. The adaptation of the method to the optimal power flow is discussed and illustrated with the results from tests on two small power systems.
