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.

Exact Topology and Parameter Estimation in Distribution Grids with Minimal Observability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a novel algorithm for learning the topology of distribution grid and estimating impedances of the operational lines with minimal observational requirements, which can reconstructs topology and impedances using voltage and injection measured only at the terminal (end-user) nodes of the distribution grid.

Distributionally Robust Chance-Constrained Approximate AC-OPF with Wasserstein Metric

TL;DR: In this paper, a distributionally robust chance constrained approximate AC-OPF was proposed for variable renewable energy (VRE) uncertainties in the presence of VRE uncertainties, where the power flow model employed in the proposed OPF formulation combines an exact AC power flow at the nominal operation point and an approximate linear power flow to reflect the system response under uncertainties.

Topological Performance Measures as Surrogates for Physical Flow Models for Risk and Vulnerability Analysis for Electric Power Systems

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to compare performance estimates achieved with a spectrum of approaches typically used for risk and vulnerability analysis of electric power systems and evaluate if more simplified topological measures can be combined using statistical methods to be used as a surrogate for physical flow models.
