That is correct. The BUS_AREA column does not affect the results of runpf(),
runcpf(), or runopf(), but it can be used by scale_load()
<http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/scale_load.html> or
apply_changes()
<http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/apply_changes.html>
to modify parameters on an area-wide basis.
