Dr. W. Murray of Stanford University will speak on
``Solution of a Large Optimization Problem.''
TIME: 3:30 PM
ROOM: MC 6091A
ABSTRACT
Optimal power flow problems (OPF) are a class of prob-
lems arising in the generation and distribution of
electric power. Such problems are nonlinearly con-
strained optimization problems and typically have
several thousand variables and constraints. In this
talk a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method
will be described to solve such problems. Much of the
talk shall be devoted to describing how to solve large
QP's utilizing the Schur complement.
