We develop DeepOPF as a Deep Neural Network (DNN) based approach for solving direct current optimal power flow (DC-OPF) problems. DeepOPF is inspired by the observation that solving DC-OPF for a given power network is equivalent to characterizing a high-dimensional mapping between the load inputs and the dispatch and transmission decisions. We construct and train a DNN model to learn such mapping, then we apply it to obtain optimized operating decisions upon arbitrary load inputs. We adopt…

DeepOPF is inspired by the observation that solving SC-DCOPF problems for a given power network is equivalent to depicting a high-dimensional mapping from the load inputs to the generation and phase angle outputs and develops a post-processing procedure based on $\ell _1$-projection to ensure the feasibility of the obtained solution.
DeepOPF leverages a DNN model to depict the high-dimensional load-to-solution mapping and can directly solve the OPF problem upon given load, excelling in fast computation process and desirable scalability.
