Abstract
This paper explores the use of quantum computing, specifically the use of HHL and VQLS algorithms, to solve optimal power flow problem in electrical grids. We investigate the effectiveness of these quantum algorithms in comparison to classical methods. The simulation results presented here which substantially improve the results in [1] indicate that quantum approaches yield similar solutions and optimal costs compared to classical methods, suggesting the potential use case of quantum computing for power system optimization.
