however, in my network does not have other elements besides generator and dispatchable load

The network itself (capacitive elements in particular) also generate reactive power. -- Ray Zimmerman Senior Research Associate 419A Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 phone: (607) 255-9645 On May 13, 2013, at 10:05 AM, Jiashen Teh <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Dear Dr Ray, I have 3 dispatchable load with real and reactive power demand. In order to see how Matpower react, I purposely make all of my generators to have 0 reactive power output. When I run ACOPF, MATPOWER showed me some of the reactive load had been satisfied. May i know why? isn't that MATPOWER should fail to converge because I have reactive load but I dont have reactive source? thank you Yours sincerely, Jiashen Teh PhD Student Electrical Energy & Power Systems Group, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering Ferranti Building (B18), The University of Manchester, M13 9PL, United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0) 161 306 2263; Mobile: +44 (0) 792 322 4864
