• Active Power Loss Minimization
• Primal-Dual Interior Point Method

In this paper aims at the study of an Interior Point Method (IPM) based on the logarithmic-Barrier Primal-Dual Algorithm (LB-PDA), for Nonlinear Programming (NLP). The total active power loss minimization is formulated as an Optimal Reactive Power Flow (ORPF), including equality and inequality constraints which represent the power system security conditions. It is shown that this optimization method has very attractive features to solve the Var/voltage problems.
