Dear Dr. Ray which m-file that I will modify for optimal power flow "objective function" to add new cost parameters for DG to the cost function. Is matpower can solve optimal power flow for losses minimization or not? If not, how it can be modified to solve such optimization problems? ** If there is online courses to learn about the use of matpower, Please tell me how to join? I really need help to understand this software and how to modify it according to my problem. It is an urgent matter. Thanks for patience and time and waiting your reply. Best Regards,
Amal Elramly ERI, Egypt. ________________________________ From: Ray Zimmerman <[email protected]> To: MATPOWER discussion forum <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 2, 2012 2:59 PM Subject: Re: Question Please see section 5.3 and chapter 6 in the User's Manual. -- Ray Zimmerman Senior Research Associate 419A Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 phone: (607) 255-9645 On Jul 2, 2012, at 5:06 AM, Amal Elramly wrote: Dear All > >I would like to ask some questions about Matpower > >Is it possible to modify the optimization function for optimal power flow? > >If this is possible, what files will be modified?.
