Good question. I think the best answer is probably … not really. The initial values as passed in to the solver for many of the solution variables are simply set to zero, with the exception of the voltage angles and the generator real power outputs. These are set according to the values found in mdi.flow(t, j, k).mpc.bus(:, VA) and mdi.flow(t, j, k).mpc.gen(:, PG), respectively. It is unclear to me how useful this is as a "warm start", given that other variables are set to zero. There is also nothing being done to explicitly exploit any warm-start features of any of the solvers, so how that initial point is used probably depends on the solver itself.
If this is something you have an interest in working on adding to MOST, I’d be happy to help in whatever way I can to guide you in the process.

I noticed that Matpower has some functions allowing using the results in the mpc files as an initial point to ACOPF or DCOPF, but can MOST do similar things? Thanks, Steven
