Abstract
Optimization implies minimization or maximization of some objective function. Powers, line losses, line flows etc. are nonlinear functions of phasor variables. Optimization therefore involves solution of simultaneous partial differential equations. System constraints must be satisfied by the solution variables. In Modular approach, line losses, line flows, squares of voltages, are shown to be linear functions of injected powers. Most optimization problems therefore turn out to be in linear programming (LP) format. In this chapter we discuss these new formulations.
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler…
