Abstract :
The solution of nonlinear optimal power flow (OPF) problems by interior-point (IP) and noninterior-point (NIP) methods for nonlinear programming (NLP) is described. The mathematical development of both algorithms is based on a standard form NLP problem. A distinctive feature of the NIP method is that, in contrast to IP methods, it can start from arbitrary points. Test results are reported
