The reactive power cost functions are specified by adding another set of ng rows to the gencost matrix. If you want to know the total reactive costs at the solution, you can do it something like this.
define_constants; mpc = loadcase(‘mycase’); results = runopf(mpc); ng = size(mpc.gen, 1); per_gen_costQ = totcost(mpc.gencost(ng+1:2*ng, :), results.gen(:, QG)); total_costQ = sum(costQ); -- Ray Zimmerman Senior Research Associate B30 Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 phone: (607) 255-9645 On Mar 4, 2014, at 2:54 PM, Sashireka Appalasamy <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Dr. Zimmerman, > > From the MATPOWER manual it is seen that the standard AC OPF model considers > reactive power as part of the cost, hence could I know where could I obtain > the reactive power cost details/data? > > Sincerely, > Sashi > > > On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 3:23 AM, Sashireka Appalasamy > <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Dr. Zimmerman, > > Could I know how could I obtain the reactive branch flow using MATPOWER? and > also is rate A used as the limit of branch flows for both real and apparent > power? > > Sincerely, > Sashi > >
