Scalable Multi-Period AC Optimal Power Flow Utilizing GPUs with High Memory Capacities (2405.14032v1)

Published 22 May 2024 in math.OC

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the scalability of open-source GPU-accelerated nonlinear programming (NLP) frameworks -- ExaModels.jl and MadNLP.jl -- for solving multi-period alternating current (AC) optimal power flow (OPF) problems on GPUs with high memory capacities (e.g., NVIDIA GH200 with 480 GB of unified memory). There has been a growing interest in solving multi-period AC OPF problems, as the increasingly fluctuating electricity market requires operation planning over multiple periods. These problems, formerly deemed intractable, are now becoming technologically feasible to solve thanks to the advent of high-memory GPU hardware and accelerated NLP tools. This study evaluates the capability of these tools to tackle previously unsolvable multi-period AC OPF instances. Our numerical experiments, run on an NVIDIA GH200, demonstrate that we can solve a multi-period OPF instance with more than 10 million variables up to $10{-4}$ precision in less than 10 minutes. These results demonstrate the efficacy of the GPU-accelerated NLP frameworks for the solution of extreme-scale multi-period OPF. We provide ExaModelsPower.jl, an open-source modeling tool for multi-period AC OPF models for GPUs.
