NetDecOPF.jl

Run tests codecov DOI

This package implements a network decomposition formulation to solve large-scale optimization problems over power networks, e.g. ACOPF, OTS etc.

Installation

This package can be installed by

] add NetDecOPF

Basic Usage

This package interfaces with power system data generated from PowerModels.jl. Given the directory file to a power system data file

julia> using NecDecOPF, PowerModels

julia> file = "../examples/case5.m";

julia> data = parse_file(file);

A graph partition of the power system network is needed for the network decomposition. This package provides a function to generate partitions using METIS:

julia> partitions = metis_cluster(data, 2);
2-element Array{Array{Int64,1},1}:
 [2, 3, 4]
 [1, 5]

Alternatively, users can define custom partition to the network in the format of Array of Arrays, where each Array collects all nodes of one partition:

julia> partitions = [[2, 3], [1, 4, 5]]
2-element Array{Array{Int64,1},1}:
 [2, 3, 4]
 [1, 5]

Now we are ready to call the decompose function to generated network decomposition:

julia> dn_model = decompose(data, partitions, ACRPowerModel, build_acopf_with_free_lines);

This code generates 2 subproblems based on the partitions specified by partitions. ACRPowerModel and build_acopf_with_free_lines specifies that the generated subproblems are rectangular ACOPF. This package also provides some relaxations for network decomposition:

dn_model = decompose(data, partitions, SDPWRMPowerModel, NetDecOPF.build_acopf_with_free_lines) # SDP relaxation for each subproblem
dn_model = decompose(data, partitions, SOCBFPowerModel, NetDecOPF.build_socbf_with_free_lines) # SOC relaxation of the branch flow model for each subproblem
dn_model = decompose(data, partitions, SOCWRPowerModel, NetDecOPF.build_socwr_with_free_lines) # SOC relaxation of the bus injection model for each subproblem

This package uses DualDecomposition.jl to solve the network decomposition problem, where the network decomposition is formulated as a dual decomposition problem and can be solved by methods such as bundle methods. This can be done as follows:

julia> using DualDecomposition; const DD = DualDecomposition

julia> sub_optimizer = optimizer = optimizer_with_attributes(Ipopt.Optimizer, "print_level" => 0, "warm_start_init_point" => "yes")

julia> algo = init_DD_algo(dn_model); # initialize the dual decomposition algorithm

julia> set_subnet_optimizer!(dn_model, sub_optimizer); # set the optimizer for each network subproblem

julia> LM = DD.BundleMaster(BM.ProximalMethod, optimizer); # initialize the bundle method with optimizer

Here line 3 initializes the dual decomposition based on our decomposed network model dn_model. Line 4 sets the optimizer (sub_optimizer) for each network subproblem. sub_optimizer needs to be set as an optimizer capable of solving the subproblem. For instance, if each subproblem is formulated as ACOPF, then sub_optimizer has to be able to solve nonconvex QCQP. Line 5 sets the optimizer (optimizer) for the master problem in the bundle method.

In the end we solve the network decomposition by calling the DD.run! function:

julia> DD.run!(algo, LM)
