By default, power flow does not enforce gen. reactive power limits. But you can use the option ENFORCE_Q_LIMS from the mpoption options database to set limits on the reactive power generation. Do help mpoption for more info.

If you want the power flow to solve for the voltage at the bus, given a specified reactive power injection (which is what you seem to be expecting), then you have to specify that by changing the BUS_TYPE to PQ in the input data. -- Ray Zimmerman Senior Research Associate B30 Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 phone: (607) 255-9645 On Feb 14, 2014, at 2:35 AM, Mahmoud Abdallah <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: dear sir this bus has wind thus it can't produce reactive power all reactive power comes from the network to bus 37 thus the reactive power in the power flow output should be negative at bus 37 Eng.
