Study Notes

Introduction to Nonlinear Programming (NLP)

Optimization is aimed at finding cost-effective alternatives under constraints by maximizing or minimizing factors.
Maximization seeks to achieve the highest outcome without considering cost.
Nonlinear programming focuses on optimizing an objective function while adhering to equality and inequality constraints.

Importance of KKT Conditions

The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions are crucial for identifying optimal solutions in nonlinear programming.
These conditions generalize Lagrange multipliers to address inequality constraints.
KKT conditions determine if a candidate solution is optimal, often serving as both necessary and sufficient criteria for optimality.

Algorithm Overview

Steps include defining the Lagrangian function, calculating partial derivatives, analyzing various cases, solving for variables, and interpreting results.

Numerical Problem: Power Generation Cost

A scenario is considered involving two generators with quadratic cost functions, aiming to minimize total power generation costs while meeting power demands.
Cost functions:
- Generator 1: ( C_1(P_1) = 0.1P_1^2 + 8P_1 + 500 )
- Generator 2: ( C_2(P_2) = 0.2P_2^2 + 10P_2 + 300 )
Total cost to minimize:
- ( C_{total} = C_1(P_1) + C_2(P_2) )

Constraints for the Problem

Power produced must meet demand: ( P_1 + P_2 = 150 , MW )
Inequality constraint: ( P_1 \leq 100 , MW )

Step 1: Formulate Lagrangian Function

Lagrangian: [ L(P_1, P_2, \lambda, \mu) = C_1(P_1) + C_2(P_2) + \lambda(P_{Demand} - P_1 - P_2) + \mu(100 - P_1) ]

Step 2: KKT Conditions

Partial derivatives lead to a system of equations:
- With respect to ( P_1 ): ( \frac{\partial L}{\partial P_1} = 8 + 0.2P_1 - \lambda - \mu = 0 )
- With respect to ( P_2 ): ( \frac{\partial L}{\partial P_2} = 10 + 0.4P_2 - \lambda = 0 )
- With respect to ( \lambda ): ( \frac{\partial L}{\partial \lambda} = 150 - P_1 - P_2 = 0 )
- With respect to ( \mu ): ( \frac{\partial L}{\partial \mu} = 100 - P_1 \geq 0 )

Step 3: Case Analysis for KKT Conditions

Case 1 when ( \mu = 0 ) leads to:
- Equating ( \lambda ) results in equations linking ( P_1 ) and ( P_2 ).
- Finding ( P_1 ) and ( P_2 ) then checks against constraints.
Case 2 when ( \mu > 0 ):
- KKT conditions dictate ( \lambda + \mu ) relations, allowing adjustments to find optimal outputs while ensuring inequality constraints are respected.

Step 4: Optimal Solutions

Final results yield:
- Optimal power output: ( P_1 = 100 , MW ), ( P_2 = 50 , MW )
- Total costs: ( C_1(100) = Nu. 2300 ), ( C_2(50) = Nu. 1300 )
- Total cost minimized to ( Nu. 3600 ).

Conclusion

KKT conditions accommodate the resolution of nonlinear optimization with constraints, promoting:
- Stationarity: Gradient conditions regarding decision variables.
- Primal feasibility: Compliance with original constraints.
- Dual feasibility: Non-negativity of associated Lagrange multipliers.
- Complementary slackness: Active constraints correlate with positive multipliers.
Evaluating varying binding and non-binding constraints using KKT assists in determining the optimal solution robustly.
