CONOPT solver embedded in GAMS for optimal power flow

This paper addresses the optimal power flow (OPF) issue by using the CONOPT solver for nonlinear programming embedded in the Generalized Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) software package. The research is performed on both standard IEEE 30-bus test systems and their modified version. The system modification has been done in order to assess the impact of the integrated renewable energy sources, primarily wind energy sources, on the OPF. The obtained results strongly confirm the GAMS/CONOPT efficiency for solving the OPF problem. GAMS/CONOPT always converges to the same optimal solution contrary to many well-known optimization techniques. Additionally, the GAMS/CONOPT requested computation time considerably outperforms that of the other techniques in the field (in all analyzed cases, in the worst situation, more than 30 times). These performances promote GAMS/CONOPT as a very successive tool for solving the real-time OPF problem.
