An optimization method named optimum power flow (OPF) can be used to determine the power system equipment limits and constraints. This paper uses the interior-point method to solve the nonlinear OPF problem. This method adjusts optimum values of OPF control variables, including the generator’s active and reactive power output, with the objective function of minimizing total system losses. The interior-point method has been analyzed on a standard IEEE-14 bus test system using the optimum power flow/unit commitment tools of DIgSILENT/Powerfactory. The analyses are conducted for alternating current (AC) power flow analysis and optimum power flow analysis, which represent Case 1 and Case 2, respectively. The results indicate that the total losses of the power system are reduced from 13.39 MW to 2.31 MW with the proposed algorithm.}, number={02}, publisher={Ankara Bilim Üniversitesi}, organization={Tübitak}
