Power flow refers to the injection of power on the lines of an electrical grid, so that all the injections at the nodes form a consistent flow within the network. Optimality, in this setting, is usually intended as the minimization of the…
Many problems in power systems involve optimizing a certain objective function subject to power flow equations and engineering constraints. A long-standing challenge in solving them is the nonconvexity of their feasible sets. In this paper,…
