The goal of an optimal power flow (OPF) is to determine the “best” way to operate a power system. Usually “best” equals to minimizing operating cost or system power loss, while operational and engineering constraints are satisfied.
SuperOPF is a practical and powerful AC OPF solver, developed by Bigwood Systems Inc., New Yorkm USA, which has been developed under the sponsorship of Department of Energy, USA and several utility companies in the last 15 years. Even though the theoretical foundation of SuperOPF is solid, it may occasionally fail to compute a AC OPF solution due to issues such as the non-existence of an OPF solution and bad initial starting points. To deal with these issues, we have developed theoretical foundation for feasible regions of AC OPF problems. The feasible region plays a fundamental role in solving optimal power flow (OPF) problems. In this talk, a complete characterization of the feasible region of OPF problems will be presented. This complete stability property enables the development of solution methods for identifying the existence/non-existence of feasible solutions.
In addition, practical applications of SuperOPF to large-scale power systems such as the Tokyo Electric Power Company, Tokyo, Japan, the ERCOT, Texas, USA and PJM Interconnection, PA, USA (the largest utility in the world) will be illustrated.
