This demo is intended to run the OPF and MPOPF problems and requires the following dependencies:
MATPOWER Version 7.0, 19-Jun-2019. MATPOWER is a package of Matlab M-files for solving power flow and optimal power flow problems. It is intended as a simulation tool for researchers and educators that is easy to use and modify. For more information visit https://matpower.org
BELTISTOS, suite of high-performance OPF algorithms including extremely scalable and low memory multiperiod OPF solver. For more information visit http://www.beltistos.com

Obtain the framework at http://www.beltistos.com. You will also need to
obtain the licence from the same website. The licence should
be located in $(HOME)/pardiso.lic file.
Set the parameters related to the problem specification and solver in the
main file main.m. Execute the file to run the simulation.
Specify the number of time periods (Nperiod) and storage devices (Nstorage).
If Nperiod=1 a standard OPF problem is run. For Nperiod>1 the MPOPF problem with
Nstorage devices is run. The power grid is selected using the variable OPFcase.
The OPF problem formulation is specified via OPFvoltage and OPFbalance variables.
The initial point is configured using OPFstart and the solver is selected via
OPFsolver. The available options for all parameters can be found in constants.m.
In order to run the MPOPF problem with 24 time periods and 10 storage devices using the IEEE 118 bus case, considering the polar-power OPF formulation using BELTISTOS structure exploiting solver (note that only the default polar-power combination is supported by BELTISTOS at the moment) and the initial point specified in the case file, use the following options:
Nperiod = 24;
Nstorage = 10;
OPFcase = case118;
OPFvoltage = POLAR;
OPFbalance = POWER;
OPFstart = MPC;
OPFsolver = BELTISTOS;
In order to run the OPF problem using Pegase 1k bus case, considering the polar-power OPF formulation using the standard BELTISTOS solver and the initial point specified in the case file, use the following options:
Nperiod = 1;
OPFcase = case1354pegase;
OPFvoltage = POLAR;
OPFbalance = POWER;
OPFstart = MPC;
OPFsolver = BELTISTOSopf;
