Abstract: Optimizing Power Network Operations

Several challenging optimization problems in power networks involve both operational decisions and non-linear models of the underlying physics described by the network. However, these networks exhibit a nice sparse structure. This talk provides an overview of approaches that combine recent advances in conic relaxations of polynomial optimization problems along with exploiting the structure of the underlying problem. These approaches are demonstrated on real-world power networks.
