Are the nodal voltage limits set wide enough(e.g. 0.9 an 1.1)?
Another possible source could be a bad choice of baseMVA and base voltage.
Do you convert the impedances  by yourself or are they already given in p.u?

    Maybe the generation costs you are using for the opf are causing
    problems.  Try to check that!.

        Thank you very much for your suggestion!
        Actually I did check the simple power flow result with
        constraints, the voltages, line flows, generations are all
        satisfied. That's why I'm confused with this problem. Is it
        possible that the line impedences and system topology may
        cause matrix sigularity during OPF calculation iteration and
        fail to converge?

        Thanks a lot!

            The simple power flow has not constraints, so maybe with
            the settings you are using the power flow converges and
            has solution, however when you use the opf, some
            constraints can cause it does not converge.  Check if the
            IEEE 123 node reported solution when using the simple
            power flow is complying the constraints (ie voltages,
            power generation, power flows).
            I hope this can help.

                Hello,

                I've been working on IEEE 123 nodes system and created
                a model for MatPower power flow. This model is
                basically a radial distribution system with a single
                generation at substation and works fine when I can use
                runpf(), and it returns similar result as shown IEEE
                123 node system report. However, when I use the same
                model for runopf(), it shows


                Numerically Failed
                Did not converge in 4 iterations.
                Did not converge (0.10 seconds)

                The total generation is very different from total
                demand, and bus voltages are at strange values (e.g.
                1.836p.u. at reference bus). Also, generation cost
                Lambda are extremely high (e.g. 17528752586.76 $/MWh @
                bus 6). I have tried to add multiple DGs at different
                locations and change the system to a ring type system,
                but it didn't work out. Does anyone have any
                suggestions or experiences to this problem? Your help
                is highly appreciated!

                Have a good day!/
