The Minimum Cost Optimal Power Flow Problem Solved via the Restart Homotopy Continuation Method

Manifold based voltage stability boundary tracing, margin control optimization and time domain simulation

“…But the difficulty of identifying an active constraint set and the possibility of divergence still exists, especially when parameter variance is not within a small range. 15 The Galiana group published a series of papers [27][28][29][30][31] on the optimal power flow based on the homotopy type continuation method. It could trace the optimal solution along a certain system scenario, based on optimization formulated with power flow equations.…”

“…However, the reactive power limit varies depending on the system operating conditions. 31 The generator capability curve is shown in Fig…”

“…The above formulation is well established in the literature as an optimal power flow [28][29][30][31], The Galiana group published a series of papers [27][28][29][30][31] on the optimal power flow based on the homotopy type continuation method. It could trace its optimal solution along a certain load scenario with optimization formulated with power flow equations.…”
