Dear Dr Zimmerman,
In our class, the followings were mentioned for the ACOPF, and I would like to
verify with you:
-> in the mpc.bus matrix, the columns: 'area', and 'zone' : not taken into
account. Thus we can let them have a value of '1'. 'basekV' :
not taken into account. The results are shown in per unit after all. 'Vm'
and 'Va' : not taken into account. Thus we can let them have a value of
'1' and '0' respectively.
->in the mpc.gen matrix, the column: 'Vg' : not taken
into account. Thus we can let it have a value of '1'. -> in the mpc.branch
matrix, the columns: 'ratio', and 'angle': not taken into account. Thus we
can let them both have a value of '0'. 'rateA' : if we
want no line constraints, we can give it a large value e.g. '99999' 'rateB',
and 'rateC' : not taken into account. We can let them '0' (normal operation).
Do you agree?
Thank youSyros
