I Have a problem using GAMS in load flow modelling on 33 buses distribution system,

The problem is that when I display the values of the current in between buses C(I,j,t) after running it gives me all zeros and all voltages equal 1, why the voltage values are fixed at all buses and why the current are zeros ???


The resistance, reactance and current limit of each line is already defined in amp.at the beginning of the model as per the below table

Alias (i,j);
LN(i,j,'x')$(LN(i,j,'x')=0) = LN(j,i,'x');
LN(i,j,'r')$(LN(i,j,'r')=0) = LN(j,i,'r');
LN(i,j,'Limit')$(LN(i,j,'Limit')=0) = LN(j,i,'Limit');
LN(i,j,'bij')$LN(i,j,'Limit') = 1/LN(i,j,'x');

LN(i,j,'th')$(LN(i,j,'Limit') and LN(i,j,'x') and LN(i,j,'r')=0) = pi/2;
LN(i,j,'th')$(LN(i,j,'Limit') and LN(i,j,'r') and LN(i,j,'x')=0) = 0;
LN(j,i,'th')$LN(i,j,'Limit') = LN(i,j,'th');
Parameter cx(i,j);
cx(i,j)$(LN(i,j,'limit') and LN(j,i,'limit')) = 1;
cx(i,j)$(cx(j,i)) = 1;
Variable OF,Pij(i,j,t), Qij(i,j,t),C(i,j,t);

Free Variable V(i,t), Va(i,t);

The power flow equations are modelled as per the below equations

eq1 (i,j,t)$cx(i,j)..
Pij(i,j,t) =e= (V(i,t)*V(j,t)*cos(Va(i,t) - Va(j,t) + LN(i,j,'th')))*LN(i,j,'Yij'); power in between buse I,j
eq2 (i,j,t)$cx(i,j)..
Qij(i,j,t) =e= (V(i,t)*V(j,t)*sin(Va(i,t) - Va(j,t) + LN(i,j,'th')))*LN(i,j,'Yij'); reactive power in between bus I,j
eq3 (i,t)..
BD(i,'pd')/Sbase =e=Sum (j, Pij(i,j,t));
eq4 (i,t)..
BD(i,'qd')/Sbase =e=Sum (j, Qij(i,j,t));


The absolute value of current of the lines in between buses modelled by the below equation

eq11 (i,j,t)..
C(i,j,t)=e=abs((V(i,t)*cos(Va(i,t))-(V(j,t)*cos(Va(j,t))))*LN( j , i ,' Yij '));

constraint of the of lower and upper limit of the absolute value of current in between buses is given by the below equation
C.lo(i,j,t)=0;
C.up(i,j,t)=1*LN(i,j,'Limit')/Ibase;

I set the upper and lower limits of the voltage and voltage angle as follow:
V.lo(i,t) = 0.9;
V.up(i,t) = 1.1;
V.l(i,t)=1;
Va.l(i,t) = 0;
Va.up(i,t) = pi/2;
Va.lo(i,t) =-pi/2;

mean while the slack bus voltage and angle are set to be fixed
V.fx(slack,t)=1;
Va.fx(slack,t) = 0;


The problem is that when I display the values of the current C(I,j,t) after running it gives me all zeros and all voltages equal 1, why the voltage values are fixed at all buses and why the current are zeros ???

Thanks in advance for your cooperation

You might want to attached a working model, so we can see what is going on. But most likely, your model was reported infeasible and that's why you don't get meaningful values in your reported variables.
