Dear Prof. Zimmerman:
My name is Manuelito Y. Del Castillo, Jr., a master's degree student in Seoul
National University of Science and Technology. I am currently working in my
reseacch for optimal power flow considering fault current constraints.
I am aware that MATPOWER is the best tool I can use for my research. I am
currently studying on how to use MATPOWER through reading the user's manual and
your related published papers. Base on my reading, my research will be
specifically utilizing the extended OPF formulation. Thus, I will include the
fault current constraints under the option "user-defined constraints"
which is equation number 5.25 at page 31 of the MATPOWER 4.1 User's Manual. As
per section 5.3.2 of the manual, it states that "The user-defined
constraints (5.25) are general linear restrictions.." My concern now is
that the fault current constraints I am hoping to add to the OPF are non-linear
equations.
I am requesting your guide and help sir on how to deal with this matter. I look
forward for your favorable response. Thank you very much for your time. It
would be an utmost honor and pleasure to have a discussion with you sir.
Respectfully Yours,
Manuelito Y. Del Castillo, Jr.
