Thank you for your response.
I have used MATPOWER4.1 for a wide range of test systems (benchmark,
real-world etc.) and the related results have been highly consistent and
reliable, compared to the ones ontained from other academic SE tools.
So, what was the need for the changes made in the current MATPOWER
version compared to the older ones?
In what way do they improve the MATPOWER?
Thank you once again.

You will definitely encounter problems if trying to use SE code from
before MATPOWER 7 with MATPOWER 7 or later … or vice-versa, since
there was an incompatible change introduced in v7 to the dSbus_dV()
function called in doSE() (order of output args was swapped).
In general, you want to make sure that the SE code you are using is
what is found in the extras/se sub-directory of the MATPOWER version
you are running it under.
Other than that change, the only changes I see that should have any
effect on the result is the section on updating Pg and Qg in the
solution using estimated values at [1]lines 55 [2]-64 in run_se.m.
Hope this helps,
Ray

Dear colleagues,
I experience some "compatibility" issues while I am trying to run
the state estimation (SE) code I had developped during my PhD
research, in newer Matlab versions. My SE code was based on the doSE
function of MATPOWER 4.1 and all my simulations had been conducted
in Matlab 2012b.
Currently, I am trying to run this code in Matlab 2018b; I use some
standard IEEE systems which I transform into mpc format and, then,
introduce into the SE code. Although the SE runs problem-free for
all systems in the original MATPOWER4.1 - Matlab 2012b environment,
I experience computational issues due to close-to-singular matrices
while I am trying to run the code in MATPOWER4.1 - Matlab 2018b
environment. Yet, this may be anticipated
due to singularity conditions which changed in newer Matlab
versions.
The problems get serious when I am trying to run the code in
MATPOWER7.0 - Matlab 2018b environment; convergence issues occur
and, of course,
I get results which are definitely wrong. So, given that my SE code
is based on the MATPOWER4.1 - doSE function, is it incompatible with
the functions of MATPOWER7.0; As I saw, the MATPOWER7.0- doSE
function has been changed due to the introduction of the section
"compute net injection at generator buses". Does this modification
or another that I cannont see, makes my SE code incompatible with
the latest MATPOWER?
Thank you in advance.
