Thanks for your attention and suggestion. I think reading the manual more will help me. But I never saw it before. Is this the latest feature for version 3.1b2? Does 3.0b3 has this setting?

This feature was added in 3.0b4 and was included in the final 3.0.0 release (3.0b4 was a beta version). It is also included in the beta releases for 3.1.

By the way, what do below settings mean?

        38 - OUT_ALL_LIM, -1        control constraint info output
[ -1 - individual flags control what constraint info prints] [ 0 - no constraint info (overrides individual flags) ] [ 1 - binding constraint info (overrides individual flags)] [ 2 - all constraint info (overrides individual flags) ] 39 - OUT_V_LIM, 1 control output of voltage limit info [ 0 - don't print ] [ 1 - print binding constraints only ] [ 2 - print all constraints ] [ (same options for OUT_LINE_LIM, OUT_PG_LIM, OUT_QG_LIM) ]
        40 - OUT_LINE_LIM, 1        control output of line limit info
        41 - OUT_PG_LIM, 1          control output of gen P limit info
        42 - OUT_QG_LIM, 1          control output of gen Q limit info

These options control the constraint sections of the output for the OPF solver only.

By default, the power flow solver does not take into account the voltage or reactive power limits. However [1] ...


For the AC power flow solvers, if the ENFORCE_Q_LIMS option is set to true (default is false), then if any generator reactive power limit is violated after running the AC power flow, the corresponding bus is con- verted to a PQ bus, with the reactive output set to the limit, and the case is re-run. The voltage magnitude at the bus will deviate from the specified value in order to satisfy the reactive power limit. If the generator at the reference bus is reaches a reactive power limit and the bus is converted to a PQ bus, the first re- maining PV bus will be used as the slack bus for the next iteration. This may result in the real power out- put at this generator being slightly off from the specified values.

Hi all,


From the case30.m in Matpower, Vmax and Vmin for buses are listed, also the Qmax and Qmin for generators. I want to know how they work during the process of calculating the power flow. If one of them are violated, how does Matpower treat it? Does Matpower keep the original outputs or change the calculation condition automatically then put out a result without breaking any limit?
