Hai Álvaro ,
This is the answer from Dr Ray Zimmerman for the same type of question in
the previous post.
1. Can we use the 'runopf' for power loss minimization.
If you give all of the generators equal linear costs, then the OPF will
implicitly minimize losses (the only way to reduce costs is by reducing
losses).
Change the cost function as linear (see table B.4 generator cost data for
format).
bye.
