Power flow optimization using positive quadratic programming
Author
Summary, in English
The problem to minimize power losses in an electrical network subject to voltage and power constraints is in general hard to solve. However, it has recently been discovered that semidefinite programming relaxations in many cases enable exact computation of the global optimum. Here we point out a fundamental reason for the successful relaxations, namely that the passive network components give rise to matrices with nonnegative off-diagonal entries. Recent progress on quadratic programming with Metzler matrix structure can therefore be applied.
