RE: [EXTERNAL] TSPOPF PDIPM AC solver not a valid value

[Rachael I. Seidel]

I actually got it figured out, I had matpower in my path twice (among other 
things).

Thanks for your help, It’s working great now.

Sorry for the delay in responding …

When you type mpver, does it show PDIPM as being installed? If not, be sure to 
include the TSPOPF directory in your Matlab path.

I reinstalled matpower and TSPOPF and now am getting the errors:

Which I don’t know how to interpret.

That error message is very strange. Are you sure you are using straight, 
single-quotes around the string arguments to mpoption? Like this ...

mpopt = mpoption('opf.ac.solver','PDIPM')

If so, I’d try reinstalling MATPOWER and TSPOPF and trying again.

Hi All,

I downloaded the TSPOPF package for MATPOWER about a week ago and I’ve been 
having trouble getting it to solve even example cases. I configure by doing 
“mpd = loadcase(case118)” , “mpopt = mpoption(‘opf.ac.solver’,’PDIPM’)”, and 
run with “runopf(mpd,mpopt)” which always gives me the error “tspopf_solver.m: 
‘MP0OPT.OPF.AC.SOLVER’ is not a valid value for MPOPT.opf.ac.solver” (among 
others).

The same method works for similar packages such as BPMPD. My suspicion is that 
there is some sort of issue with tspopf ‘s installation but I’m unsure what the 
issue could be.

Here is the entire list of errors:
>> runopf(mpd,mpopt)

MATPOWER Version 7.1, 08-Oct-2020 -- AC Optimal Power Flow

Error using tspopf_solver (line 256)

Error in opf_execute (line 100)
                [results, success, raw] = tspopf_solver(om, mpopt);

Error in opf (line 232)
    [results, success, raw] = opf_execute(om, mpopt);

Error in runopf (line 75)
[r, success] = opf(casedata, mpopt);



Any advice would be appreciated.
