Dear Ray, Thank you for the fast reply. As suggested, I will submit this change as an issue on GitHub. However, what I had in mind was not only including rate B instead of rate A in OPF, but to include rate B in addition to rate A. More precisely, I am investigating if MP could be used for dynamic line rating where a higher branch limit could be imposed for a short time (emergency rating for e.g., one time instance). Since this is not possible, I assume the best approach would be to define a time profile for the branch limit via apply_profile function. Do you think there is another possibility?
