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

Optimized Measurement Allocation for Power Distribution Systems Using Mixed Integer SDP
TL;DR: The proposed approach exploits the M-optimal experimental design technique to formulate the problem as a mixed integer semidefinite programming model and demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed approach in terms of optimality and convergence speed through simulations on a 95-bus distribution grid.

An optimization model for siting and sizing of vehicle-to-grid facilities in a microgrid
TL;DR: The simulation results show that investing in the V2G technology can considerably improve the long-term economics of the microgrid, but the obtained profit and the payback period can vary from one plan to another.

A Sparse Representation Approach to Online Estimation of Power System Distribution Factors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method to compute linear sensitivity distribution factors (DFs) in near real time without relying on a power flow model of the system, which relies on the solution of an underdetermined system of linear equations that arise from high-frequency synchronized measurements obtained from phasor measurement units.

Optimal planning of distribution grids considering active power curtailment and reactive power control
TL;DR: In this article, a new planning methodology is proposed for existing distribution grids, considering both passive and active network measures, which can be used as a decision-making tool by distribution system operators which need to decide whether to invest in new hardware such as new lines and transformers, or to initiate control measures influencing the operational costs.
