The AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is a core optimization task in the domain of power system operations and control. It is known to be nonconvex (and, in fact, NP-hard). In general operational scenarios, identifying feasible (let alone optimal) power-flow solutions remains hard. This paper leverages the recently proposed Feasible Point Pursuit algorithm for solving the OPF problem to devise a fully distributed procedure that can identify AC OPF solutions. The paper considers a multi-area setting and develops an algorithm where all the computations are done locally withing each area, and then the local controllers have to communicate to only their neighbors a small amount of information pertaining to the boundary buses. The merits of the proposed approach are illustrated through an example of a challenging transmission network. |
