It is not possible in MATPOWER to enforce branch flow limits in the power flow 
problem. Enforcing violated branch flow limits can only be done by 
redispatching generation, so the question then becomes, how do you do the 
re-dispatch … i.e. what is the objective for the redispatch? Once you have a 
precise answer to that question, you can probably implement it with an OPF with 
the appropriate set of constraints and costs.
