MATLAB Implementation for Optimal Power Flow Calculation

Optimal Power Flow (OPF) calculation serves as a critical component in power system simulation. This computational process analyzes node voltages, branch currents, and other electrical parameters across the power network to optimize system operational states, ensuring grid stability and security. The MATLAB-based OPF tool provides enhanced simulation capabilities through its modular code architecture, featuring implementable algorithms such as Newton-Raphson method or Interior Point optimization. Key functions include admittance matrix formulation, power flow equations solving, and constraint handling for generator limits/branch capacities. Users can extend functionality by modifying objective functions (e.g., minimization of generation costs) or integrating custom constraints via MATLAB's optimization toolbox. This implementation offers practical value for power system researchers and engineers in developing adaptive simulation solutions.
