Hi, I am new to Matpower. can someone tell me what the mpc.if.map in this file do? the comments say ifnum branchidx but there are 30 branches in case30 so what do the following lines mean? 1 -12;// there is a comment line that says area 1 imports but why 4 lines that start with 1? 1 -14; 1 -15; 1 -36; 2 15; 2 25; 2 26; 2 -32; 3 12; // there is a comment line that says area 3 imports but why 6 lines that start with 3? 3 14; 3 -25; 3 -26; 3 32; 3 36;
I am trying to learn what needs to be done to study what happens when the total load exceeds the total generator capacity for case 9. By just running rundcopf('case9'), it will always succeed even if I set the total load to exceed the total Pmax of all 3 generators. So, I suspect I need to use runopf_w_res before I can study the failure scenario when there is overload condition. Is this correct? MC
