contents The operation of large-scale infrastructure networks requires scalable optimization schemes. To guarantee safe system operation, a high degree of feasibility in a small number of iterations is important. Decomposition schemes can help to achieve scalability. In terms of feasibility, however, classical approaches such as the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) often converge slowly. In this work, we present primal decomposition schemes for hierarchically structured strongly convex QPs. These schemes offer high degrees of feasibility in a small number of iterations in combination with global convergence guarantees. We benchmark their performance against the centralized off-the-shelf interior-point solver Ipopt and ADMM on problems with up to 300,000 decision variables and constraints. We find that the proposed approaches solve problems as fast as Ipopt, but with reduced communication and without requiring a full model exchange. Moreover, the proposed schemes achieve a higher accuracy than ADMM.
