Nonlinear Bilevel Problem

[Jaime Vera]

Hi everyone,

I'm wonder if is possible to solve nonlinear bilevel problems using the pyomo.bilevel extension. I'm wonder if is possible to solve nonlinear bilevel problems using the pyomo.bilevel extension.

I have a nonlinear model that represent the production characteristics of a set of hydropowers in the same river, and the objective is to maximize their total production, but not all of the energy can be sold because the buyer its also owner of the hydroplants. So, i've formulated the problem as a Stackelberg game, but i'm not quite sure if its possible to solve it with the pyomo.bilevel extension.

Any comment or suggestions in that may be of help?

Thanks a lot!!

Jaime

Hello Jaime,

I hope you are doing well.

Unfortunately, the bi-level extension of Pyomo is now outdated. To solve a bi-level problem using the C&CG algorithm or using some other libraries that are related to Pyomo, please refer to Chapter 8 of the tutorial book below:

Please let me know if further information is needed.
