Abstract: The classical ac optimal power flow (OPF) problem is nonconvex and generally hard to solve. We propose a new conic relaxation obtained by combining semidefinite optimization with RLT. The proposed relaxation is stronger than the second-order cone relaxation, nearly as tight as the standard semidefinite relaxation, and up to one order of magnitude faster than for the semidefinite chordal approach on benchmark systems with up to 6515 nodes. We extend the approach to optimal reactive power dispatch with similar results and performance. This is a joint work with Christian Bingane and Sébastien Le Digabel.
