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.

Joint Cyber and Physical Attacks on Power Grids: Graph Theoretical Approaches for Information Recovery

TL;DR: This work considers a model in which an adversary attacks a zone by physically disconnecting some of its power lines and blocking the information flow from the zone to the grid's control center, and develops methods to retrieve the grid state information following such an attack.

Power system static state estimation using JADE-adaptive differential evolution technique

TL;DR: From the test results it has been determined that the proposed technique determines the solution even when the power system is partially observable and also detects the un-observable buses present in the network.
