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.

Measurement-Based Real-Time Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch

TL;DR: In this paper, a measurement-based approach to the real-time security-constrained economic dispatch (SCED) is proposed, which is robust against undetected topology changes, changes in the system operating point, and the existence of incorrect model data.

Coordinated cyber‐physical attacks considering DoS attacks in power systems

TL;DR: It is presented that this newly proposed attack can use lower attack resources to introduce more catastrophic effects on the power system and is likely to cause severe consequences than the single cyber or physical attacks.

Sensitivity-Based Model of Low Voltage Distribution Systems with Distributed Energy Resources

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a sensitivity-based model of an LV distribution system, supplied by a Medium/Low Voltage (MV/LV) substation and composed by several feeders, which is suitable for the optimal management and control of the grid and for VM deition.

Solving the power flow equations: a monotone operator approach

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to compute (using an offline optimization) a “monotonicity domain” in the space of voltage phasors and there is a simple efficient algorithm that will either find a solution in the domain, or provably certify that no solutions exist in it.
