Hi Ray and thank you for your reply, i will try to make my case more clear. I am studying a radial transmission network (150 kV). There are 3 branches directly connected to a station. I am thinking of using this station as a “sink” (a load for Matpower) that collects the power generated by the wind power plants in the network.
My final goal is to do an extended optimal power flow, using some custom constraints, to optimize size and location of energy storage in order to avoid wind curtailment by the transmission operator. I have data of P, Q and I of branches, and V at the nodes (intersection of branch and power plant). Should i put those data (P,Q) in the 3rd and 4th column of the bus matrix data despite they are not load buses? Or should i do something different in my scenario? I have put an image to semplify things. Hope this time i have make it more clear, thank you again for your time, Davide Maglione Da: Ray Daniel Zimmerman Inviato: venerdì 17 luglio 2020 22:40 A: MATPOWER-L Oggetto: Re: Bus, Loads and Generators question It isn’t completely clear what data you have to create your case, but you definitely need both load and generation for the system to make any sense. Total generation is equal to total load plus losses, so you need both. And dispatchable load refers to loads whose quantities are not fixed, but can vary depending on the price.

I have some doubts on how to consider my buses, because in my network there are no loads but only generators and i am considering the buses as the nodes of the system. I have V,I and P datas of each n_i node, so can i put in the 3rd and 4th column of the bus matrix those flow data despite they are not load buses? Finally, what do you mean with “dispatchable load”?
