Optimal Power Flow and Chebyshev Introduction

This lecture covers topics related to Optimal Power Flow (OPF) solutions, including Semidefinite Programming (SDP), Non-convex problems, and Gradient Descent methods. It also introduces Chebyshev's inequality and its applications in probability distributions and Concentration Inequalities. The instructor, Bahar Taskesen, discusses the optimization of probability distributions using SDP and the derivation of Chebyshev's inequality. The lecture concludes with a numerical example demonstrating the estimation of system safety probabilities and the use of SDP for probability bounding.
