Code conversion from GAMS to JuMP (Ipopt Solver)

Is there any better way to convert constraints with multiple indices?
Here’s what I’ve done.

[GAMS]
SETS
         i       index of buses         /1*33/
         t       index of time slots    /1*24/
         s      reduced scenarios      /1*10/
;

* Power flow equations
* Bus: 2~N_Bus
NLECONS1(t,i,s)$(ord(i) > 1) .. p_g(t,i,s)+p_bes(t,i,s)-p_l(t,i,s)-v(t,i,s)*SUM(j, v(t,j,s)*(GmatDATA(i,j)*cos((2*pi/360)*(theta(t,i,s)-theta(t,j,s)))+BmatDATA(i,j)*sin((2*pi/360)*(theta(t,i,s)-theta(t,j,s)))))=e=0   ;
NLECONS2(t,i,s)$(ord(i) > 1) .. q_g(t,i,s)+q_bes(t,i,s)-q_l(t,i,s)-v(t,i,s)*SUM(j, v(t,j,s)*(GmatDATA(i,j)*sin((2*pi/360)*(theta(t,i,s)-theta(t,j,s)))-BmatDATA(i,j)*cos((2*pi/360)*(theta(t,i,s)-theta(t,j,s)))))=e=0   ;
* Slack Bus
NLECONS3(t,i,s)$(ord(i) = 1) .. p_tie(t,s)+p_g(t,i,s)+p_bes(t,i,s)-p_l(t,i,s)-v(t,i,s)*SUM(j, v(t,j,s)*(GmatDATA(i,j)*cos((2*pi/360)*(theta(t,i,s)-theta(t,j,s)))+BmatDATA(i,j)*sin((2*pi/360)*(theta(t,i,s)-theta(t,j,s)))))=e=0  ;
NLECONS4(t,i,s)$(ord(i) = 1) .. q_tie(t,s)+q_g(t,i,s)+q_bes(t,i,s)-q_l(t,i,s)-v(t,i,s)*SUM(j, v(t,j,s)*(GmatDATA(i,j)*sin((2*pi/360)*(theta(t,i,s)-theta(t,j,s)))-BmatDATA(i,j)*cos((2*pi/360)*(theta(t,i,s)-theta(t,j,s)))))=e=0  ;

Ipopt Solvers on GAMS and JuMP show different numbers of nonzeros in equality constraint Jacobian even though total numbers of equality constraints are same.


[GAMS]
Number of nonzeros in equality constraint Jacobian...:   303010  
Total number of variables............................:    66864
Total number of equality constraints.................:    39990
Total number of inequality constraints...............:    32640

[JuMP]
Number of nonzeros in equality constraint Jacobian...:  1245790
Total number of variables............................:    66864
Total number of equality constraints.................:    39990
Total number of inequality constraints...............:    32640

GAMS solves the problem in 1~2hrs, but JuMP couldn’t finish the work in days.
I don’t know where this comes from.

JuMP doesn’t do much preprocessing to combine duplicate elements, it makes the solver do some of the work there. Looks like the Hessian in particular is handled better in GAMS than JuMP. You could try the AmplNLWriter package.

Thanks for the comment.
Doesn’t AmplNLWriter calls Ipopt Solver for NLP?
As far as I recall, BonminSolver does.

It’s the same optimization solver but uses a C library for evaluating the Jacobian, Hessian, etc instead of the Julia code used by Ipopt.jl

@tkelman Thanks for the kind comments and advice.
I ran the same code with AmplNLSolver("Ipopt") .
It’s been 2hrs and still running (GAMS Ipopt completes the computation in 1~2hrs), and giving no variable/constraint summary but some expressions deprecation warnings.
Doesn’t AmplNLWriter package provide iteration status?

Each solver in Julia handles options slightly differently. There is a way to turn on solver logging at intermediate iterations but it may be spelled a little differently in each.
