DECOMPOSITION APPROACH TO THE NEWTON- RAPHSON BASED HYDRO-THERMAL OPTIMAL POWER FLOW SOLUTION
This paper presents a decomposition approach to the hydro-thermal optimal power flow problem to address the mathematical difficulty due to large number of variables and constraints associated with the problem. The decomposition of the problem is achieved by dividing the optimization period under consideration into hourly time intervals. The optimization problem for each time interval is first solv...
