Thanks Ray very much for your support!  I greatly appreciate it

 

I will it give the code a go and come back to you with feedback


Thanks and regards

Subject: Re: Extension to AC OPF - soft limits

 

I don’t think there is a way to do this using the existing soft limits 
functionality in MATPOWER. However, it should be fairly straightforward to 
implement using user-defined linear constraints and costs, since all of your 
constraints and costs are linear. The simplest approach would probably be to 
use Direct Specification as described in Section 7.1 of the User’s Manual. 

 

Simply add A, l and u as extra fields in mpc to defined the constraints, with 
extra columns in A to define the s and T variables. Then add N and Cw as extras 
fields to define the cost on the new T variable (using the legacy cost format). 
I suppose you will also want to set the generator costs to zero in the gencost 
matrix.

 

For example, A and N can be defined with 2*nb + 4*ng + 1 columns, corresponding 
to Va, Vm, Pg, Qg, sm, sp, T. The following (untested) code, should at least be 
close to what you want …

 

nb = size(mpc.bus, 1);

ng = size(mpc.gen, 1);

I = speye(ng,ng);       % ng x ng identity matrix

Zb = sparse(ng, nb);    % ng x nb zero matrix

Zg = sparse(ng, ng);    % ng x ng zero matrix

 

% -Pg - sm <= -Plower

A1 = [Zb Zb -I Zg -I Zg 0];

u1 = -Plower;

 

% Pg - sp >= Pupper

A2 = [Zb Zb I Zg -I Zg 0];

u2 = Pupper;

 

% sm - T <= 0

A3 = [Zb Zb Zg Zg I Zg -1];

u3 = zeros(ng, 1);

 

% sp - T <= 0

A4 = [Zb Zb Zg Zg Zg I -1];

u4 = zeros(ng, 1);

 

mpc.A = [A1; A2; A3; A4];

mpc.u = [u1; u2; u3; u4];

 

mpc.N = [sparse(1, 2*nb+4*ng) 1];   % select T

mpc.Cw = 1;

 

Let me know how it works,

 

    Ray

Dear community,,

 

 

I am now working with soft limits on generation in AC-OPF. I know that these 
are natively supported by  Matpower. 

 

However, I would like to change the formulation so to minimize the maximum 
value of limit violation on P_G  , i.e. as in the model below:

I would like to ask you all if this is anyhow supported by Matpower  ? If yes, 
what would be the easiest way to do that?

 

 

Thanks in advance and regards,
