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

Vulnerability analysis of cascading dynamics in smart grids under load redistribution attacks
TL;DR: A framework is proposed to model the smart grid as interdependent complex networks and investigate the topology vulnerabilities subject to targeted attacks and it is found that theTopology vulnerability is closely related to the critical node types and locations.

A concise, approximate representation of a collection of loads described by polytopes
Suhail Barot,Josh A. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: A novel approximation for concisely representing the capabilities of a heterogeneous aggregation of flexible loads is proposed, which is easily computable and only uses one variable per time period corresponding to the aggregation's net power usage.
