Podsumowanie	Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is a fundamental optimization framework for computing the most economical and secure operating point of an electrical power system. Introduced by Jean Carpentier in 1962, OPF minimizes operational costs (fuel, losses, or other expenses) while satisfying physical and operational constraints. Modern electric grids depend on OPF for real-time economic dispatch, security analysis, and planning, making it one of the most important problems in power systems engineering.	Economic Dispatch (ED) is the process of optimally allocating power output among committed generators to meet demand at minimum fuel cost. Introduced by Kirchmayer in 1958, ED is a fundamental real-time optimization problem solved every few minutes in power system operations. Unlike Unit Commitment (which decides generator on/off), ED assumes generators are already committed and focuses on splitting load most economically. ED's rapid feedback enables efficient real-time power plant operations.	The Newton-Raphson method is a powerful iterative technique for solving the nonlinear power flow equations in electrical power systems. Introduced by Tinney and Hart in 1967, it became the industry standard for computing steady-state voltage and power distributions across transmission networks. The method uses Jacobian matrix formulations to rapidly converge to the true operating point.
