Dear community, It is known that AC OPF is a nonlinear and non-convex problem, and I believe matPower AC OPF uses prime-dual interior point(PDIP) method, so please help understand 1.can this method consider the discrete variables and 2.Does it have to be transformed from the original OPF to a certain type so that PDIP can handle? if yes, what kind of transformation? 3. Is it a global solution?
