• paper.m generates the data and the plots that have been used in the paper.
• scenarios.m generates extra data and extra plots for a number of practical scenarios.
• techreport.pdf provides a discussion of the data and plots generated by scenarios.m

Simulations are based on a modified version of the IEEE 123 test feeder, which is available as a MatPower case file in the MatPower directory.
