Dear Dr. Zimmerman,
We are using case30 in Matpower.
For a fixed load, we added capacitor banks on all buses.
We performed "runopf" and shut down the capacitor banks that gave very
small values.
We are left with 13 capacitor banks.
We prepared a code for random load variation of +/- 20% of their
initial value.
However we did not change the cost of the capacitor banks (we kept it
the same as the cost of the placement)
We know that P(slack) + P(gen) = P(loss) + P(demand).
Moreover,P(gen) and P(demand) change together in the same direction
and approximatly at the same rate.
Hence, to minimize losses we should minimize P(slack).
How can we change the cost function of capacitor banks and obtain the
Optimal cost at each capacitor bank in such a way to minimize P(slack)
and hence P(losses)?
In other way, how can we relate the cost function to P(slack)
to get minimum losses?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Teddy Richa
