Scalable Self-Supervised Learning for Multiphase AC-OPF in Distribution Systems with Topology Reconfiguration

The paper introduces Penalty + Sequential Linearized Feasibility Seeking (SLFS), a self‑supervised learning framework for solving multiphase AC optimal power flow (AC‑OPF) in distribution systems with topology reconfiguration. SLFS trains directly from the AC‑OPF objective and constraints using a differentiable fixed‑point power flow solver, avoiding the need for labeled optimal solutions. It achieves negligible optimality gaps and near‑zero constraint violations on IEEE feeders up to 8,500 nodes, delivering up to three orders of magnitude speedups over IPOPT while maintaining robustness to large distributional shifts.
