I also suspect that the network becomes disconnected by removing certain lines. You can check the connectivity using case_info()<https://matpower.org/docs/ref/matpower7.0/lib/case_info.html> or find_islands()<https://matpower.org/docs/ref/matpower7.0/lib/find_islands.html>. If there are islands, then each island needs to have its own reference bus, and the local generation needs to be able to meet the local load in each island.

I mean to say if you run opf for (n-1) criteria the system should be still well connected. There shouldn't be any island within the system itself. Perhaps you can test your model by removing any one parallel line (which you can observe later for analysis) and run the model under (n-1) criteria. This could be the easiest way to test the model. Thank you.
