MATPOWER 30-bus, 6-generator case is based on data from Alsac, O. & Stott, B., "Optimal Load Flow with Steady State Security", with generator locations, costs and limits and bus areas taken from Ferrero, R.W., Shahidehpour, S.M., Ramesh, V.C., "Transaction analysis in deregulated power systems using game theory" (see related content below for paper links).
Some data has been modified according to the preamble of the case file.
Besides the original model, 2 more are considered characterized by:
- piece-wise linear generator costs,
- costs for reactive generation.
