MATPOWER is a package of free, open-source Matlab-language M-files for solving steady-state power system simulation and optimization problems, such as:

- power flow (PF),
- continuation power flow (CPF),
- extensible optimal power flow (OPF),
- unit commitment (UC) and
- stochastic, secure multi-interval OPF/UC.

It is intended as a simulation tool for researchers and educators that is easy to use and modify. MATPOWER is designed to give the best performance possible while keeping the code simple to understand and modify.
