We are pleased to announce that MATPOWER 6.0 is now available for free
download from the MATPOWER website ...
https://www.list.cornell.edu/t/121095431/6449049/58001/2001/
And MATPOWER now has a new home on GitHub [1] as well as a new developer
mailing list [2]!
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 6.0 include:
* A new open development model, with a home on GitHub and new developer
e-mail list.
* The MATPOWER Optimal Scheduling 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.
* Generator real and reactive power limits for the continuation power flow.
(thanks to Shrirang Abhyankar)
* OPF option to respect specified generator voltage set points (rather
than optimizing them).
* 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.
More details are available in the What's New section of the website.
