True. That should also work and would actually probably be simpler. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. So, yes. See Section 6.4.3 in the User’s Manual.

I have checked the matpower mail archive, and I find that someone in 2012 (see picture attached) has suggested that this can be modeled using matpower's generator P-Q capability curve. I think this is suitable for my case. Is it still in use today? Thank you.

Here comes the problem: There is a relationship between the active power output and reactive power output of PV, but I do not see how to consider it in the mpc.gen matrix. (It seems I can only set upper/lower bounds for P and Q respectively?) So, is there any useful method to model PV in matpower? Plaese help me. Thank you very much. <1629815926(1).png>
