    Study Notes

    Optimal Power Flow (OPF) Formulation

    • Equality constraints in OPF formulation represent physical laws governing power flow, such as Kirchhoff's laws and power balance equations.
    • General form of the OPF problem: minimize f(x) subject to g(x) = 0 and h(x) ≤ 0, where f(x) is the objective function, g(x) represents equality constraints, and h(x) represents inequality constraints.

    Controllable Variables

    • Controllable variables denoted by x in the OPF problem formulation include generator active and reactive power outputs, load tap changer settings, transformer tap settings, and phase shifter settings.

    Objective Functions

    • Common objective functions used in OPF for operations and planning include: minimization of generation cost, minimization of transmission loss, and maximization of social welfare.
    • One objective function not commonly used is minimization of voltage magnitude.

    Applications of OPF

    • One application of OPF in transmission capacity planning is to determine the maximum transfer capability of a transmission corridor, ensuring reliable and efficient power transmission.
