contents Secondary distribution networks (SDNets) play an increasingly important role in smart grids due to a high proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs) in SDNets. However, most existing optimal power flow (OPF) problems do not take into account SDNets with center-tapped service transformers. Handling the nonlinear and nonconvex SDNet power flow constraints is still an outstanding problem. To meet this gap, we first utilize the second-order cone programming relaxation and linearization to make center-tapped service transformer constraints convex, respectively. Then, a linearized triplex service line power flow model, including its compact matrix-vector form, is further developed to compose the SDNet OPF model with our proposed center-tapped service transformer model. This proposed SDNet OPF model can be easily embedded into existing primary distribution network (PDNet) OPF models, resulting in a holistic power system decision-making solution for integrated primary-secondary distribution networks. Case studies are presented for two different integrated primary-secondary distribution networks that demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of this model.
