In the context of a simple power flow or even OPF, it is likely that it will appear as a simple power injection (positive or negative), so you could either add it to the load or create a generator with a range that extends from the maximum charging rate (negative injection) to the maximum discharge rate.
However, most of the interesting things you can do with a battery involve multiple time periods. This is a significantly more complicated than a single-shot power flow or OPF. -- Ray Zimmerman Senior Research Associate 211 Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 phone: (607) 255-9645 On May 20, 2010, at 10:49 AM, paola p b wrote: > Hello, > I would like to know if anyone knows how to simulate a battery with > Matpower.
