Generator reactive power limits in PowerModels function compute_ac_pf!()

[I-E-Pharoes]

Hello all,

I am having some issues with the Load Flow function compute_ac_pf!(). Reactive generation limits are not met for some generators when I run it, even though I am fairly sure that it is able to fix a generator's reactive power to its limit, as well as changing the node from PV to PQ and back when necessary.

For the power system I am using, I build my own network_data dictionary as it can be observed below, and then I run the command compute_ac_pf!(network_data, show_trace = true):

Does anyone know what the issue might be? I believe It has something to do with the network_data dictionary being made by hand, and not imported and parsed from a .m or .raw file
Thank you in advance for your help

AC Power Flow is not meant to satisfy reactive power bounds (or any other constraints). If you would like the bounds to enforced you should use an AC Optimal Power Flow method.

Understood, thank you very much
