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

Revealing cascading failure vulnerability in power grids using risk-graph
TL;DR: It is discovered that attack strategies that select target nodes (TNs) based on load and degree do not yield the strongest attacks, so a novel metric is proposed, called the risk graph, and novel attack strategies are developed that are much stronger than the load-based and degree-based attack strategies.

The QC relaxation: A theoretical and computational study on optimal power flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the Quadratic Convex (QC) relaxation is proposed to preserve stronger links between the voltage variables through convex envelopes of the polar representation, and the main theoretical result shows that the QC relaxation is stronger than the Second-Order Cone (SOC) relaxation.
