Proving Global Optimality of ACOPF Solutions
Abstract
We present our latest contributions in terms of mathematical modeling and algorithm development for the global optimization of the ACOPF problem. These contributions allow us to close the optimality gap on a number of open instances in the PGLIB and NESTA benchmark libraries. This is achieved by combining valid cut generation with semidefinite programming-based bound tightening. The mathematical formulations along with the solution algorithms are implemented in the modeling framework Gravity (www.gravityopt.com), an open-source platform for reproducible numerical experiments.
