Question regarding incorporating contingency in 'OPF' model

Hi, I am trying to figure out, how matpower deals with contingencies in 'Optimal Power Flow' process. For example, if I want to see the OPF result after a contingency take place, should I manually make the status of that branch status from '1 to zero' or is there any automatic way to do that? Sam

Dear Jubeyer, the way we did in the IEEE optimization competitions of 2014, 2017 and 2018 was (where we used matpower): http://sites.ieee.org/psace-mho/2018-operational-planning-of-sustainable-electrical-power-systems-competition-panel/ Run an OPF Apply a contingency Run a PF Check Feasibility of

Re: Question regarding incorporating contingency in 'OPF' model

The standard OPF formulation used when you call runopf() does not include contingencies. MOST does handle contingencies in the context of a DC OPF (optionally including multiple periods and unit commitment as well). For details, please see the MOST User’s Manual

Hi Professor Rodriguez, Weren't some of those test cases in those competitions, asking for optimal real and reactive power dispatch(ORPD,OARPD) solution; like objective function was to minimize the fuel cost? In that case, how, by just only running a PF after contingency can give a reasonable solu

Re: Question regarding incorporating contingency in 'OPF' model

Hi Jubeyer, I did not understand the question, or questions. do you mean SCOPF?, I mean several contingencies? regards _ Sergio Rivera, E.E, PhD, IEEE Senior Member Fulbright Scholar University of Florida Associate Professor Universidad Nacional de Colombia em

Re: Question regarding incorporating contingency in 'OPF' model

Hi Professor, I guess it should be SCOPF. As you have said before that, you have run a PF after a contingency takes place to check the feasibility, but when the goal is to minimize the fuel cost, it seems that the OPF needs to be run again to find the minimum operation costs from the existing gener
