AC and DC Optimal Power Flow Models for Long-Term Development Planning

Increasing integration in the Baltic electricity market and Europe-wide interconnection establishment makes it necessary to consider markets principals for power system development planning. The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is one of the fundamental problems in power system analyses. Long-term development planning typically requires a large number of repetitive OPF solutions. In this comparison, the calculation speed of the OPF solutions beside their accuracy is observed. The full alternating current OPF is accurate, but takes long solution time. The direct current OPF is a simple approximation of OPF that is very fast but is not so accurate.
