Matpower mpc conversion and maximum loading for transmission lines

[ibchung72]

Hello,

I've been using matpower and recently found out about pandapower and was wondering how they can be converted.
There were some differences between the parameters, so I saved a test case in matpower (e.g. mpc = loadcase('case30') in matlab) and saved it for pandapower.
However, when I used the pandapower.converter.from_mpc, a lot of information was lost that is required for OPF.
For the most part, the line information is lost, e.g., resistance and reactance. I was wondering if there is an appropriate way to convert mpc to pandapaower.

Another question is about the line ratings.
In matpower, each line has information on line ratings, which corresponds to the maximum allowed power for transmission.
However, in pandapower.lines, I don't see a parameter for setting this.
Is there a way to limit the maximum amount of power that can be transmitted through each line, which can be enforced during OPF?
