Good question. The gentype and genfuel fields of mpc are optional and are not used at all in the calculations, but can be useful when writing code to summarize total or average quantities by generator or fuel type.

For wind generators there is a specific function named addwind and easily we can add hourly wind profiles for our calculations. How about solar? How can we include hourly solar radiation profiles ? be noticed that if we use addgen2mpc then 'gen_type' solar, the fields for addgen2mpc are [new_mpc, idx] = addgen2mpc(mpc, gen, gencost, gen_type) then there is nothing for radiation profile. If there is another function for adding photovoltaic with hourly profile or other way plz let me know. tnx all
