Available Transfer Capability Calculation Constrained with Small-Signal Stability Based on Adaptive Gradient Sampling

Algorithm 1

SQP-AGS algorithm.
(1)Initialization: choose a sample radius , penalty parameter , constraint violation tolerance , sample size p, line search constant , backtracking constant , sample radius reduction factor , penalty parameter reduction factor , constraint violation tolerance reduction factor , infeasibility tolerance , and stationarity tolerance parameter . Choose an initial iterate and set and .
(2)Termination conditions check: while , if and , output solution and stop.
(3)Adaptive gradient sampling: generate , , and by (22)–(24) and (31).
(4)Search direction calculation: choose , solve (14)–(21) to get .
(5)L-BFGS update: update by (26) for next iteration.
(6)Parameter update: if , then go to step 9. Otherwise, if , set , but if , set . Then, set , , and go to step 8.
(7)Line search: set as the largest value in the sequence such that satisfies: and
(8)Iteration increment: set and go to step 3.
