The time resolution is completely up to you when you are running your own sequence of snapshots using runopf() as in your example. That is, a MATPOWER OPF is for a specific instant in time, so it knows nothing of any time resolution. You are free to define whatever tilme step you like for re-solving a new steady-state solution. Obviously, once you get to very short time scales you really need to start taking into account system dynamics, so a steady-state solution, like an OPF, is not what you want.

It really helps. for i = 1:length(profiles) mpc.bus(2, PD) = 150 * profiles(i); results = runopf(mpc); vm_results(i) = results.bus(2, VM); end Could you please clarify the defined time resolution, such as timestep, microsecond, second, or hour? If so, is it feasible to redefine this time resolution?

Please exercise caution when clicking links or opening attachments from external sources. Hello Lichen, I’m afraid MOST uses a DC network model. That is, bus voltage magnitudes are not modeled at all and instead are assumed to be approximated by 1 p.u. See Section 3.7 in the MATPOWER User’s Manual<https://matpower.org/docs/MATPOWER-manual-7.1.pdf> for more details on the DC modeling assumptions. Depending on your application, you may not need to solve a multiperiod optimization, but rather a sequence of single-period optimizations or simulations. For example, it’s possible that calling runopf() in a loop would give you what you want.

I am currently working on replicating a specific scenario from research paper,https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2020.115523, voltage smoothing control. I attempted to reproduce the bus voltage variation every second (shown in fig1.fig19.png) using MOST's 7.2.1 Example 5 – Deterministic Multiperiod OPF with Delta_T = 1 (load and wind profiles from fig2.Figure 7-2.png). However, it seems that the bus voltage remains constant at 1 p.u (shown in fig3.png). I have a couple of questions: 1. 1. Could you guide me on where to view the bus voltage results for MOST 7.2.1 Example when solved with `mdo = most(mdi, mpopt);` (Delta_T=1 hour, number of periods = 12)? 1. 2. Are there any available examples closer to the scenario of "Bus voltage variation every second"? I appreciate your time and assistance in this matter.
