We are pleased to announce that MATPOWER 6.0b1 is now available for free
download from the MATPOWER web site ...
http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/
MATPOWER is a free, open-source software package for power system analysis,
aimed primarily at solving power flow and optimal power flow problems.
Highlights of version 6.0b1 include:
* The primary new feature is the MATPOWER Optimal Schedulingm Tool (MOST),
which can handle the following classes of problems:
- deterministic economic dispatch with optional fixed zonal reserves
- deterministic DC OPF with optional fixed zonal reserves
- deterministic multi period ED/DC OPF with optional fixed zonal
reserves, ramping costs, storage, etc.
- deterministic UC, with optional DC OPF constraints, fixed zonal
reserves, ramping costs, storage, etc, startup/shutdown costs,
min up and down time constraints
- stochastic versions of all of the above to represent e.g. uncertain
renewable generation
- secure versions of all of the above with explicit contingencies
instead of zonal reserves for security
* New European and French system case files, up to 13,659 buses.
(thanks to Cédric Josz and friends)
* General mechanism for applying modifications to an existing MATPOWER case.
* Experimental foundation for handling of ZIP load models.
* Several new contributions, including:
* Ability to plot electrically meaningful drawings of MATPOWER cases.
(thanks to Paul Cuffe)
* OPF-based maximum loadability limit calculation. (thanks to Camille Hamon)
* Bug fixes.
* And more.
Coming soon (in the next beta release):
* Generator real and reactive power limits for the continuation
power flow (CPF). (thanks to Shrirang Abhyankar)
More details are available in the What's New section of the web site.
