Abstract—This work presents the application of classical methods for optimal power flow (OPF) solution. The main objectives of electrical energy systems are to meet load demand with adequacy and reliability and to keep at the same time ecological and economic prices as low as possible. The OPF problem is nowadays an essential tool in power systems planning, operational planning and real-time operation. The OPF problem is modeled as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem, non-convex of large-scale, with continuous and discrete variables. Traditionally, classical optimization methods are used to effectively solve OPF problem, where Newton method and Primal Linear Programming (PLP) method have been selected for OPF solution. Results for the 26 bus power system network and IEEE 30 bus test systems are presents to validate the efficiency of proposed model and solution technique.
