Recently I have been experimenting with using Matpower and rundcpf() to
simulate cascading branch failures and islanding. One question that has
occurred to to me is what happens when there is not enough generator
capacity to satisfy the loads at all the buses? I have had little
success figuring this out on my own. To this end, I have two questions:
1) Is it possible to modify a case (i.e. case14.m) to create a shortage
of generator power? My attempts to do this have failed. Turning down
Pmax doesn't seem to limit generator power.
2) How does Matpower handle this case? Is it possible to measure the
satisfied load when there aren't enough generators?
Thank you,
Scott
