The LP-based solver for the AC OPF, which has be deprecated, uses
successive linear programming. That is, it linearizes the problem,
solves an LP, linearizes again, etc. The details can be found on pages
8-10 of the MATPOWER 2.0 user's manual (included in the download for
that version).

Dear Members,
I am wondering how MATPOWER solves the OPF problem with nonlinear
power balance equations by using Linear Programming.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
