With any new MATPOWER function, such as scale_load()
<http://www.pserc.cornell.edu//matpower/docs/ref/matpower5.1/scale_load.html>,
or any Matlab function for that matter, always start by reading the help to
understand the input and output arguments and the purpose of the function. For
scale_load()
<http://www.pserc.cornell.edu//matpower/docs/ref/matpower5.1/scale_load.html>
you can’t just pass in case file name and assume it knows what you want it to
do.
If you want to double the active and reactive power load (for a fixed, i.e.
non-dispatchable, load) at bus k, for example, you can change the values of the
PD and QD columns in the bus matrix directly (this is basic Matlab, so go find
a good Matlab tutorial if this still looks mysterious) …
mpc = loadcase('mycase');
mpc.bus(k, PD) = mpc.bus(k, PD) * 2;
mpc.bus(k, QD) = mpc.bus(k, QD) * 2;
… or ...
nb = size(mpc.bus, 1);
load_zone = zeros(nb, 1);
load_zone(k) = 1;
mpc.bus = loadcase(2, mpc.bus, [], load_zone);
Both methods accomplish the same thing, though scale_load()
<http://www.pserc.cornell.edu//matpower/docs/ref/matpower5.1/scale_load.html>
can also handle dispatchable loads, etc. (see the opt argument).
