Power flow problems - workshop summary

On February 28th we held the Workshop on Semidefinite Optimization in Power Flow problems.

  • Spyros Chatzivasileiadis gave a talk about SDO methods for producing stability certificates for power systems and about the optimal power flow under uncertainty.
  • Cédric Josz introduced the complex variant of the Lasserre moment hierarchy and discussed the possible advantages of a convex optimizer working directly over the complex numbers.
  • Martin Skovgaard Andersen talked about numerical aspects and experiments with convex relaxations of optimal flow problems. In particular, he was able to solve the SDP relaxations of test cases with over 10K power buses using MOSEK.

The slides from all three talks can be found on our website.

We thank the speakers and the participants for making this a great workshop!
