Please give credits to these papers (as appropriate) if you use the code available below for your research.

The code is available here for download: opf_dgt_v1.

The code generates Fig. 2 of [1].

The code was built on MATLAB R2011b. More recent MATLAB versions may require some modifications.

The code uses IPOPT version 3.10.0 for solving local and global optimization problems. IPOPT is available from https://projects.coin-or.org/Ipopt.

The network tested were derived from the test scenarios available from the MATPOWER distribution.
