This document contains the official formulation that will be used for evaluation in Challenge 2 of the Grid Optimization (GO) Competition. Minor changes may occur within the formulation. Entrants will be notified when a new version is released. Changes are not expected to be of a significance that would cause a change in approach for the Entrants. This formulation builds upon the Challenge 1 formulation published in ARPA-E DE-FOA-0001952. Entrants will be judged based on the current official Challenge 2 formulation posted on the GO Competition website (this document, which is subject to change), not the formulation posted in DE-FOA-0001952. Entrants are permitted and encouraged to use any alternative problem formulation and modeling convention within their own software (such as convex relaxation, decoupled power flow formulations, current-voltage formulations, etc.) in an attempt to produce an exact or approximate solution to this particular mathematical program. However, the judging of all submitted approaches must conform to the official formulation presented here.
