1. The inputs in mpc.reserves are described in the help text for toggle_reserves() <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/toggle_reserves.html> and in Section 7.5.1 of the MATPOWER User’s Manual <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/MATPOWER-manual-6.0.pdf>. There is not necessarily one correct way to define reserves, but it is typical for only conventional generators to be eligible to provide reserves. In this case, you would only include the conventional generators in mpc.reserve.zones and the cost and qty fields could be either 31 x 1 or 52 x 1.
2. If you are using addwind() <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/most/addwind.html> it returns the generator indices of the added wind units. If you pass this to your getprofiles() <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/most/getprofiles.html> call, it will automatically use the corresponding generator index. So, for example, if you are adding 3 wind units, you can use indices 1, 2, and 3 in your wind profile and getprofiles() <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/most/getprofiles.html> will automatically update them to the indices you provide from the addwind() <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/most/addwind.html> call. Actually, I see now that your question may have been a different one. You would specify the bus number where you want the wind unit in the wind.gen input to addwind() <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/most/addwind.html>. 3. The way I would personally do this is to duplicate the addwind() <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/most/addwind.html> function, rename it to addsolar() and then find and replace every instance of “wind”, “Wind” and “WIND” with “solar”, “Solar” and “SOLAR”, respectively. Then use your new addsolar() function in the same way you use addwind() <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/ref/matpower6.0/most/addwind.html>.
