[petsc-users] TAOIPM for AC optimal power flow

[Justin Chang]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a generic AC optimal power flow solver, and I hope to use
DMNetwork's data structure and TAO's optimization solvers for this purpose.
Last time I inquired about IPM (maybe 3-4 years ago) I was told that it's
not suitable for large-scale networks, which is the direction we're hoping
to go here at NREL. I see right now from the documentation website:

"This algorithm is more of a place-holder for future constrained
optimization algorithms and should not yet be used for large problems or
production code."

Is there any plans at the moment to have a high performance implementation
of IPM in TAO? It would be nice to have a purely PETSc code instead of
interfacing to something like IPOPT for the optimization.

Thanks,
Justin
