Hi;

I am not sure that I completely follow your second question. With regards to the first one, we really have just the ones that are distributed with MATPOWER, plus some others that we use in research and which may contain propietary data.

Your second question... if the solvers find a solution, by definition it must be feasible... is your question rather "how do I know if there is a feasible solution?" There is no simple answer; sometimes relaxing the restrictions of a problem allows the solvers to converge and by tightening the restrictions back slowly you may get information about which constraints are the ones that cannot be met. But in general, answering the question of feasibility is not easy.

There is a little function in the MINOPF distribution that is used to precondition a case to provide a better starting point for MINOPF; it is called sqppf and it tries to minimize the sum of squares of opf constraint violations; it prints info about which constraints register the highest violations at every step; it will try to give you back a power flow solution that is OPF-feasible, so MINOPF can start from there to get to the optimal solution.

Dear all,

Firstly,Is there any repository for Matpower cases, so I can download them?
Secondly,how feasibility of optimal solution of cases could be checked?

Thanks for your help in advanced.
