Hi Dear Community, I have a strange question about OPF.
If I use a solver like fmincon with Interior Point algorithm in MATLAB optimization toolbox to solve runpf('case30') with objective of loss minimization (Pgen_total - Pdemand_total ) and considering Pg in all PV-buses as control variables, can we call this funny method OPF? It is converged surprisingly! It is like, you run so many PF to find the best one. It is time consuming but changing objective function is easier. Best Wishes, Ehsan
