The optimal power flow (OPF) problem is generally nonconvex. Recently a second-order cone relaxation for OPF has been proposed using the branch flow model. In this paper, we provide sufficient conditions under which the relaxation is exact, and demonstrate that these conditions hold for a wide class of practical power distribution systems.
