Dear Ray,

Thank you for your response.
I resolved the problem with the error message regarding dispatchable loads.
In addition, I would like to ask you and clarify some calculations that I make 
by extracting data from Matpower.

1) I use the following commands to calculate the bus addmitance Ybus matrix and 
impedance Zbus matrix:
[i2e,bus,gen,branch]=ext2int(bus,gen,branch);
[Ybus, Yf, Yt] = makeYbus(baseMVA, bus, branch);
Zbus=1./Ybus;
The values of the matrixes are in pu, isn't it?

2) After that I am interested in computing the shunt addmitance ysh of π 
equivalent circuit of a line j->k in pu.
bs=mpc.branch(:,BR_B);
ysh=1./bs
Is that correct?

3) Then I calculate the nodal voltages in pu
for f=1:24
    
Vf(f,1)=results.bus(f,VM)*exp(1j*results.bus(f,VA)*(pi/180));%*mpc.bus(f,10);
end

4) Then the nodal currents in pu
I=Ybus*Vf;

5) Finally, I calculate the P(in pu) through a line jk associated with nodal 
currents. For the computation of Preal value, the Sbase=100MVA is used for the 
whole network?

Thank you in advance for your support!
Cheers,
Alexandra

Subject: Re: error message

If you have a working dispatchable load (one that doesn’t give you the error 
message you describe) and you are scaling both the active and reactive load 
(PMIN and QMIN/QMAX) by multiplying by the same constant factor, you should not 
see this error. If that is what you are doing and you are seeing an error, 
please send me (off-list) a short script (the smallest example you can come up 
with) that I can use to reproduce the error.

Dear Ray,

In addittion to my previous question, I would like to ask about the following 
error message:

Error using makeAvl (line 83) makeAvl: For a dispatchable load, PG and QG must 
be consistent          with the power factor defined by PMIN and the Q limits.

I face this problem when I iteratively reduce the Load (both MW and MVAr) by 
the same constant factor each time.
I use dispatchable loads.
How should I sort this out??

Kind Regards,
Alexandra
