Abstract

The paper focuses on the problem of optimal power flow. Minimized production and transmission costs were considered to design an optimal power flow search method based on the novel two-stage optimization procedure that takes into account the voltage and power constraints. As a result, the efficient optimum search method for the non-convex optimal power flow problem is proposed and implemented. The efficient L-BFGS-B optimization algorithm is employed to allow for the constraints. The stochastic modification of the global optimization algorithm of the Lipschitz function was used in the first stage to improve the L-BFGS-B method. Two illustrative examples on the IEEE 118-bus test scheme and real regional grid demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed two-stage optimization procedure. The possibility of taking into account the renewable sources in the proposed optimal power flow algorithm is briefly discussed
