Abstract

In this paper, we consider the non-convex optimal power flow (OPF) problems. We are interested in solving these non-convex problems by applying the distributed primal-dual gradient dynamics. We derive a sufficient positive semidefinite condition to characterize the relationship between KKT points and saddle points for the Lagrangian associated with the OPF problem. Two illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and limitations of this characterization.
