poly2pwl(polycost, Pmin, Pmax, npts)

source code

Converts polynomial cost variable to piecewise linear.

Converts the polynomial cost variable polycost into a piece-wise linear cost by evaluating at zero and then at npts evenly spaced points between Pmin and Pmax. If Pmin <= 0 (such as for reactive power, where P really means Q) it just uses npts evenly spaced points between Pmin and Pmax.
