TLDR
In this article, the use of equivalents causes errors, the methods for adjusting discrete variables are suboptimal, and the number of control actions is too large to be executed, and approaches for correcting them are discussed.
Abstract
Optimal power flow programs have deficiencies that limit their practical value and scope of application. Three of these deficiencies are: (1) the use of equivalents causes errors, (2) the methods for adjusting discrete variables are suboptimal; and (3) the number of control actions is too large to be executed. These deficiencies are explained, and approaches for correcting them are discussed. >

PCPDIPM based optimal reactive power flow model with discrete variables

TL;DR: In the PCPDIPM based ORPF solution, the quadratic discretization formulation results in the constant Hessians that all have elements of 1, or −1, or the penalty factor, and mostly being zero, thereby accelerating the entire optimal process significantly.
