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

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. -- Ray ZimmermanSenior Research AssociateB30 Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853phone: (607) 255-9645 On Jun 8, 2013, at 1:31 PM, Panagiotis Anagnostopoulos <[email protected]> wrote:Hello, 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 Best regards Panagiotis Anagnostopoulos National Technical University of Athens
