Dear Prof. Zimmerman,

thanks for the reply and the clarification, 
indeed I use 7.9 Matlab version. So I will follow your advice.

I suppose you are using a version of Matlab between 7.6 and 7.9, correct?
The test failures are because fmincon's interior-point method (which is now the 
default, i.e. MATPOWER option FMC_ALG is now 4 instead of 1) was not accurate 
enough in Matlab versions 7.6-7.9. So if you plan to use fmincon for running 
optimal power flows (OPF_ALG = 520), I suggest you limit yourself to using the 
active-set method (FMC_ALG = 1), or update your version of Matlab.
This does not affect the default MIPS solver used when using runopf without 
explicitly setting OPF_ALG.
The tests have been fixed so this won't happen in the next version.

I have installed the MATPOWER for OPF problems I face. I put the command 
test_Matpower and I got the following:

"t_opf_fmincon.......not ok
    #####  Ran 101 of 101 tests: 63 passed, 38 failed"

Is it something I have to worry about or it is usual? The rest were all ok.

Thanks in advance
