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

PMU Placement for Line Outage Identification via Multinomial Logistic Regression
Taedong Kim,Stephen J. Wright +1 more
TL;DR: This work considers the ideal case in which PMUs are attached to every bus, and describes techniques from regularized optimization for placing PMUs selectively on a subset of buses, with the subset being chosen to allow discrimination between as many outage events as possible.

Fully Distributed Quasi-Newton Multi-Area Dynamic Economic Dispatch Method for Active Distribution Networks
TL;DR: An efficient fully distributed dynamic ED solution for minimizing photovoltaic power curtailment, based on a parallel primal-dual interior-point algorithm with a quasi-Newton technique, which can achieve a global optimum while the privacy of each area is obliquely protected.

Convex Relaxations of Optimal Power Flow Problems: An Illustrative Example
Daniel K. Molzahn,Ian A. Hiskens +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an example OPF problem with two equivalent formulations, and demonstrate that physically-based conditions cannot universally explain algorithm behavior, and that the SDP relaxation fails for one formulation but succeeds in finding the global solution to the other.

Optimal power flow of a distribution system based on increasingly tight cutting planes added to a second order cone relaxation
TL;DR: In this article, a second-order cone (SOC) relaxation is applied to an OPF based on a branch flow model of a radial and balanced distribution system, and a tailored termination criterion is introduced to allow the attainment of a solution satisfying the network constraints in a finite number of steps.
