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

Comparing the Effects of Failures in Power Grids Under the AC and DC Power Flow Models
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the effects of a single line failure on the distribution of the flows on other lines are similar under the AC and DC models, however, the cascade simulations demonstrate that the assumptions underlying the DC model can lead to inaccurate and overly optimistic cascade predictions.

Dynamic Economic Dispatch Considering Transmission Losses Using Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Program Method
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic economic dispatch model that considers transmission losses and a new solution framework are proposed to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of generation scheduling, where transmission losses are explicitly in the model so that the total energy consumption, consisting of both the generators' operation costs and also the transmission losses, can be well considered.
