Recent years have witnessed significant interest in convex relaxations of the power flows, with several papers showing that the second-order cone relaxation is tight for tree networks under various conditions on loads or voltages. This paper shows that ac-feasibility, i.e., to find whether some generator dispatch can satisfy a given demand, is NP-hard for tree networks.
