This study presents a novel linear approximated methodology for full alternating current-optimal power flow (AC-OPF). The AC-OPF can provide more precise and real picture of full active and reactive power flow modelling, along with the voltage profile of buses compared to the commonly used direct current-optimal power flow. While the AC-OPF is a non-linear programming problem, this can be transformed into a mixed-integer linear programming environment by the proposed model without loss of accuracy. The global optimality of the solution for the approximated model can be guaranteed by existing algorithms and software. The numerical results and simulations which represent the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed model are given and completely discussed in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
