Setting a small case in PowerModels as m file

Specific Domains Optimization (Mathematical)
1

hello there,

I want to test a small 3 bus system on PowerModels and I had to modify the case5.m into case3.m since there was no smaller system than 5 bus network
however I get this error when I run my julia file with the case3.m
“LoadError: BoundsError: attempt to access 6-element Array{Int64,1} at index [5:24]”
This is my network snap
and These are the contents of my 3 bus network m file

function mpc = case3

%% MATPOWER Case Format : Version 2
mpc.version = '2';

%%-----  Power Flow Data  -----%%
%% system MVA base
mpc.baseMVA = 100;

%% bus data
%	bus_i	type	Pd	Qd	Gs	Bs	area	Vm	Va	baseKV	zone	Vmax	Vmin
mpc.bus = [

Please read the first post of Please read: make it easier to help you - #81 and provide a reproducible example, including a simplified version of the code the reproduces the error, and the full text of the error message.

In the example you give the generator cost information is not following the Matpower specification. Something like this should work,

mpc.gencost = [
	2	0	0	3	10	0	0;
	2	0	0	3	0	0	0;
	2	0	0	3	50	0	0;
];

I can also recomend you have look at, https://github.com/power-grid-lib/pglib-opf, as a source of high quality transmission network cases.

Thank you @ccoffrin
I took this link as my reference and put 1 for a linear gen cost function, but I tried yours and it worked…It means choosing a polynomial and teh putting my a coefficient and other coefficents as zero
