It is still in the research stage, but there is a chance it could be publicly released at some point. No definite plans right now.

Thanks very much. I just read your presentation on SuperOPF project, is this going to be available soon?

The base case solution in the paper looks like an AC OPF solution, since the lambdas are not identical, so it could be related to parameters not shown in the paper (voltage limits, generator VAr limits, etc.). However, my guess is that there is a typo somewhere, either in the author's MATPOWER file or in the paper ... unless, of course, there's still one in your data file that I missed. -- Ray Zimmerman Senior Research Associate 211 Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 phone: (607) 255-9645
