------------------------------ AC Optimal Power Flow (rectangular coordinates) ------------------------------ This formulation uses rectangular coordinates for voltage representation, where the voltage at node :math:`n` is represented as: .. math:: \mathcal{V}_n = e_n + j f_n where :math:`e_n` and :math:`f_n` are the real and imaginary parts of the voltage, respectively. The AC-OPF formulation considers the full nonlinear power flow equations, including both active and reactive power, and the real and imaginary parts of the voltage. The AC-OPF problem is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem. In particular, the AC_OPF is formulated as a non-convex quadratically constrainted quadratic program (QCQP).
