MATGRID

MATGRID is an easy-to-use simulation tool for researchers and educators provided as a MATLAB package, with source code released under MIT License. MATGRID is inspired by Matpower and allows a variety of display and manipulation options.

The software package, inter alia, includes:

• AC power flow analysis,
• DC power flow analysis,
• non-linear state estimation,
• linear DC state estimation,
• linear state estimation with PMUs only,
• least absolute value state estimation,
• optimal PMU placement,
• bad data processing.

Modules

There are three main modules:

• Power Flow - using the executive function runpf runs the AC and DC power flow analysis;

• State Estimation - using the executive function runse runs the non-linear, DC and PMU state estimation, where measurement variances and sets can be changed;

• Standalone Measurement Generator - using the executive function rungen generates a set of measurements according to the AC power flow analysis.
