MATPOWER

From MATPOWER’s about page:

MATPOWER is a package of free, open-source Matlab-language M-files for solving steady-state power system simulation and optimization problems, such as:

  • power flow (PF),

  • continuation power flow (CPF),

  • extensible optimal power flow (OPF),

  • unit commitment (UC) and

  • stochastic, secure multi-interval OPF/UC.

MATPOWER is also the underlying engine behind JMDL (eASiMOV).

  • p.u. values need to be based on global base rating, not individual component rating – as is the case in GDF.
