This sounds to me like a combinatorial optimization problem in which MATPOWER’s power flow would be a sub-routine for evaluating the objective function value for a given candidate solution. You’d have to embed that in your own combinatorial optimization algorithm though, as MATPOWER doesn’t include any such optimization.
