Hi Jin, I couldn’t understand the issue you reported. But according to my knowledge, MATPOWER gives you the final price at the node, it doesn’t calculate individual congestion, loss, energy components. Moreover, for ACOPF, MATPOWER gives you and active ($/MW) and reactive power ($/MVar) marginal prices at respective nodes. Hope it helps.

Since the square of the apparent power is used when building the line flow constraints, the shadow price should be with a unit of $/(MVA*MVA). When it is converted to the shadow price $/MVA, MatPower times the RateA of that line, but for me, it more makes sense if it is multiplied with the apparent power flowing through the line. What is the reason behind multiplying that RateA. Thanks! Kind regards, Jin
