Parallel technique for computing problem functions in solving optimal power flow

摘要

An exemplary method includes solving on a computing system an optimal power flow formulation for a plurality of generators in a power system. The solving includes computing using multi-threaded parallelism a plurality of constraints for the formulation, computing using multi-threaded parallelism a plurality of Jacobian functions of the constraints, and computing using multi-threaded parallelism a Hessian of Lagrangian functions. The method further includes outputting results of the solving, wherein the results comprise values of generation levels for the plurality of generators. Apparatus and program products are also disclosed.
