Lift-and-Project Relaxations of AC Microgrid Distribution System Planning

We apply relaxation procedures to polynomial optimization problems that originate in transmission system planning, and obtain new convex formulations for the AC case. The approach is novel because the optimization is efficient but also addresses the true nonlinear physics directly. We illustrate the...

520 |a We apply relaxation procedures to polynomial optimization problems that originate in transmission system planning, and obtain new convex formulations for the AC case. The approach is novel because the optimization is efficient but also addresses the true nonlinear physics directly. We illustrate the method on a test case derived from a notional shipboard distribution system.
