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

Joint power system state estimation and breaker status identification
TL;DR: In this paper, the prior information on unmonitored and suspected switches takes the form of l 2 -norm penalties promoting sparsity in a properly defined block manner, and an efficient algorithm is developed to ensure compatibility with solvers found currently at control centers.

Second-order cone AC optimal power flow: convex relaxations and feasible solutions
TL;DR: Three convex OPF models are proposed to improve the performance of the second-order cone alternating current OPF (SOC-ACOPF) model by dropping assumptions by convex relaxation and approximation methods and a heuristic algorithm to recover feasible ACOPF solution from the relaxed solution of the proposed SOC-ACopF models is developed.

Comparative analysis of existing models for power-grid synchronization
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative analysis of three leading models used to study synchronization dynamics in power-grid networks is presented, showing that each of these models can be derived from first principles within a common framework based on the classical model of a generator, thereby clarifying all assumptions involved.
