# Power Grid Lib - Optimal Power Flow



This benchmark library is curated and maintained by the [IEEE PES Task Force on Benchmarks for Validation of Emerging Power System Algorithms](https://power-grid-lib.github.io/) and is designed to evaluate a well established version of the the AC Optimal Power Flow problem.  This [introductory video](https://youtu.be/fC3hzddCJ2c) and [detailed report](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.02788) present the motivations and goals of this benchmark library.  In particular, these cases are designed for benchmarking algorithms that solve the following Non-Convex Nonlinear Program,



 

![The Mathematical Model of the Optimal Power Flow Problem](MODEL.png?raw=true "Optional Title")

 



A detailed description of this mathematical model is available [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.07847).  All of the cases files are curated in the [MATPOWER](https://matpower.org) data format.  Open-source reference implementations are available in [MATPOWER](https://matpower.org) and [PowerModels.jl](https://github.com/lanl-ansi/PowerModels.jl) and baseline results are reported in [BASELINE.md](BASELINE.md).



### Problem Variants



These cases may also be useful for benchmarking the following variants of the Optimal Power Flow problem,

* DC Optimal Power Flow

* AC Optimal Transmission Switching

* DC Optimal Transmission Switching



That said, these cases are curated with the AC Optimal Power Flow problem in mind.  Application to other domains and problem variants should be done with discretion.



## Case File Overview



A forthcoming technical report will detail the sources, motivations, and procedures for curating these case files.



In this repository the network data files are organized into the following three broad groups:



* /*.m - base case benchmarks as originally specified

* /api/*.m - heavily loaded test cases (i.e. binding thermal limit constraints)

* /sad/*.m - small phase angle difference cases (i.e. binding phase angle difference constraints)

Community-based recommendations and contributions are welcome and encouraged in all PGLib repositories. Please feel free to submit comments and questions in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/power-grid-lib/pglib-opf/issues).  Corrections and new network contributions are welcome via pull requests.  All data contributions are subject to a quality assurance review by the repository curator(s).
