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

A Hierarchical Modeling for Reactive Power Optimization With Joint Transmission and Distribution Networks by Curve Fitting
TL;DR: A hierarchical modeling method is proposed that allows the reactive power optimization of transmission and distribution networks to be performed separately, leading to a master–slave structure and improves traditional centralized modeling methods by alleviating the big data problem in a control center.

Effect of stealthy bad data injection on network congestion in market based power system
TL;DR: This paper formulates an attack strategy that can change the congestion of transmission lines without being detectable and shows both the changes of congestion and the potential financial benefit gained by an attacker.

Unsupervised Impedance and Topology Estimation of Distribution Networks—Limitations and Tools
TL;DR: This work proposes a noise-robust technique for estimating effective impedances via the reduced Laplacian form of the Kron reduced admittance matrix, termed the “subKron” form, and presents the Complex Recursive Grouping algorithm to reconstruct radial networks from effective impedance.

Assessment of power grid vulnerabilities accounting for stochastic loads and model imprecision
TL;DR: A framework for advanced uncertainty quantification and vulnerability assessment of power grids allows critical failure scenarios to be identified and overcomes the limitations of current approaches by explicitly considering aleatory and epistemic sources of uncertainty modelled using probability boxes.

Optimal Power and Gas Flow With a Limited Number of Control Actions
TL;DR: Simulation results verify that the MILP approach always produces reliable optimal solutions while MINLP is divergent in some cases, and substantial benefits are demonstrated with the implementation of reasonable soft constraint relaxation.
