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.

Modeling and performance evaluation of stealthy false data injection attacks on smart grid in the presence of corrupted measurements

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates how FDI attacks can be constructed blindly, i.e., without system knowledge; including topological connectivity and line reactance information, and overcomes this limitation by separating the gross errors from the measurement matrix.

On the Inverse Power Flow Problem.

TL;DR: The inverse power flow problem is studied to infer line and transformer parameters, and the operational structure of a power system from time-synchronized measurements of voltage and current phasors at various locations to show that the nodal admittance matrix can be uniquely identified from a sequence of steady-state measurements.

Dispersed generation impact on distribution network losses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an index aiming to avoid complex and computationally expensive statistical analysis for loss assessment, which does not require any detailed characterisation of the energy flows over the network (load flow calculations).
