Abstract

Many power system analysis problems can be framed as unconstrained or constrained optimization problems. Typical examples are 1) Power System State Estimation(PSSE) which is framed as a sequential unconstrained or an equality constrained linear least squares problem, [Schweppe and Wildes, 1970] 2) Optimal Power Flow (OPF) which is framed as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem [Dommel and Tinney, 1968], 3) Optimal relay coordination which is framed as a Linear Programming (LP) problem [Chattopadhyay et al., 1996] and 4) Optimal scheduling for hydrothermal systems.

Near a maximum the decrements on both sides are in the beginning only imperceptible. —J. Kepler, V. M. Tikhomirov: Stories about Maxima and Minima
