Dear Carlos and Ray
Thank you very much for your comments. Alberto From: bounce-123104696-78146...@list.cornell.edu <bounce-123104696-78146...@list.cornell.edu> On Behalf Of Carlos E Murillo-Sanchez Sent: Thursday, 15 November 2018 5:09 AM To: MATPOWER discussion forum <matpowe...@list.cornell.edu> Subject: Re: HVDC and SVC To clarify a little further on Ray's advice: An SVC can be approximated by a generator under voltage control that can sink QMIN or source QMAX MVArs, but this would be accurate for an SVC with a slope of infinity (i.e., constant voltage). If you want to approximate the behavior of an SVC in the linear operational region, then, in an optimal power flow (but not in a simple power flow) you can relate the voltage of the controlling bus to the reactive output of the SVC using the generalized linear constraints feature.

And an SVC can be modeled as a generator with PMIN and PMAX equal to 0.
