Abstract
The benefits of transmission line switching are well-known in terms of reducing operational cost and improving system reliability of power systems. However, finding the optimal power network configuration is a challenging task due to the combinatorial nature of the underlying optimization problem. In this work, we identify a certain “node-based” set that appears as substructure of the optimal transmission switching problem and then conduct a polyhedral study of this set. We construct an extended formulation of the integer hull of this set and present the inequality description of the integer hull in the original space in some cases. These inequalities in the original space can be used as cutting-planes for the transmission line switching problem. Finally, we present the results of our computational experiments using these cutting-planes on difficult test cases from the literature.
期刊介绍：
Discrete Optimization publishes research papers on the mathematical, computational and applied aspects of all areas of integer programming and combinatorial optimization. In addition to reports on mathematical results pertinent to discrete optimization, the journal welcomes submissions on algorithmic developments, computational experiments, and novel applications (in particular, large-scale and real-time applications). The journal also publishes clearly labelled surveys, reviews, short notes, and open problems. Manuscripts submitted for possible publication to Discrete Optimization should report on original research, should not have been previously published, and should not be under consideration for publication by any other journal.
