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

Optimal Power Flow Using an Improved Electromagnetism-like Mechanism Method
TL;DR: In this article, an improved version of the electromagnetism-like mechanism is developed and proposed to find the optimal solution for the optimal power flow problem in a power system, which has been demonstrated on standard IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 57-bus test systems for seven different objectives that reflect fuel cost minimization with generators that may have either convex or nonconvex fuel cost characteristics, voltage profile improvement, voltage stability enhancement, and active and reactive power transmission losses minimization.

Error bounds on the DC power flow approximation: A convex relaxation approach
TL;DR: This paper proposes an algorithm capable of computing rigorous bounds on the approximation error in the DC power flow (and, in future extensions, more general linearized approximations) using convex relaxation techniques and shows that the bounds are reasonably tight over a range of operating conditions.
