Abstract

A method determines a power flow of a power grid by optimizing an objective function representing an operation of the power grid using a spatial branch and bound (BB) framework for determining iteratively upper and lower bounds of the objective function. During the optimization, the lower bounds are determined using a semi-definite programming (SDP) relaxation of an optimal power flow (OPF) problem.
