Rates B and C are in the data file format, but there is currently no automated 
way to run an OPF using, for example Rate B instead of Rate A. However, this is 
trivial to do with a couple of lines of code …

define_constants;
mpc = loadcase(<my case file>);
mpc.branch(:, RATE_A) = mpc.branch(:, RATE_B);
results = runopf(mpc);

I have it on a “to do” list somewhere to add an OPF option to handle this 
automatically, but it’s not yet implemented and I don’t have a timeline for it. 
May I suggest that you submit this in the issue tracker on GitHub and maybe 
someone (yourself?) will contribute a pull request to implement it.
