Dear Sir Zimmerman,
(1) I want to know if I have missed any release between matpower 3.2 and 4.0. (2) Matpower is mainly for power flow studies in a power grid , whether it is possible to include in matpower the study of auxiliary power supply systems in a typical power plant having diesel generators, power and auxiliary transformers and switchgears/ MCC, battery and Rectifier/ Inverter systems (3) As an example, I want to analyse sequential loading of diesel generators , change over transient of normal power supply to reserve power supply, load flow and fault analysis of auxiliary power systems in a nuclear power plant having components mentioned in point (2) But I really appreciate the works done in matpower and power system analysis toolbox for power flow studies, which are dreams for me when I was doing my masters in power systems engineering around 15 years back. regards Hrushikesh Patro Electrical Engineer Kudankulam Nuclear power project India From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2009 9:23 AM To: MATPOWER discussion forum Subject: Re: basic inquiries On Jul 24, 2009, at 11:11 PM, Hajri, Mohammad T (PDD) wrote: Hi There The following are basic inquiries; * What is the Matpower ? Is Module in The Matlab ? If yes, What Matlab Release? MATPOWER is an open source Matlab-based package for power flow and optimal power flow simulations. It is available from http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/ It is not part of Matlab. * Does this Module cover Reactive power Optimization using Genetic Algorithm? No, it does not. * Is there any website that can educate me about the Matpower applications ? If you haven't looked at the User's Manual on the MATPOWER home page listed above, that would be a good starting point.
