MATPOWER: Steady-State Operations, Planning, and Analysis Tools for Power Systems Research and Education
TLDR
The details of the network modeling and problem formulations used by MATPOWER, including its extensible OPF architecture, are presented, which are used internally to implement several extensions to the standard OPF problem, including piece-wise linear cost functions, dispatchable loads, generator capability curves, and branch angle difference limits.Abstract:
MATPOWER is an open-source Matlab-based power system simulation package that provides a high-level set of power flow, optimal power flow (OPF), and other tools targeted toward researchers, educators, and students. The OPF architecture is designed to be extensible, making it easy to add user-defined variables, costs, and constraints to the standard OPF problem. This paper presents the details of the network modeling and problem formulations used by MATPOWER, including its extensible OPF architecture. This structure is used internally to implement several extensions to the standard OPF problem, including piece-wise linear cost functions, dispatchable loads, generator capability curves, and branch angle difference limits. Simulation results are presented for a number of test cases comparing the performance of several available OPF solvers and demonstrating MATPOWER's ability to solve large-scale AC and DC OPF problems.read more

Robust Dispatch of High Wind Power-Penetrated Power Systems Against Transient Instability
TL;DR: In this article, a robust dispatch method is proposed to optimize the power system's operation state while sustaining its transient stability with highly variable and stochastic wind power generation, where the stability constraints are converted to approximately-equivalent algebraic equations based on one-machine-infinite-bus equivalence technique and trajectory sensitivity analysis.

Primal and dual bounds for Optimal Transmission Switching
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the DC power flow model is inadequate for solving the OTS problem, and that mixed-integer nonlinear optimization techniques are instrumental in finding high-quality primal and dual bounds.
