Dear MATPOWER team,

Greetings!

Can the current MATPOWER OPF version accommodate a dispatchable component
that can act as a load or a generator? For example, a microgrid that
imports power to a utility grid can be modeled as a dispatchable
"generator" from the perspective of the utility; similarly, the same
microgrid may also export power from the utility grid and can be modeled as
a dispatchable "load" from the perspective of the utility.

Can the above be implemented in MATPOWER by specifying a generator output
ranging from a minimum injection equal to the negative of the largest
possible "load" up to a maximum injection equal to the largest possible
"generation"? For instance, -5MW <= P <= 5MW with an associated cost of 20
dollars per MWh.

Cheers,
Ronald
