“…Therefore, the thermal loading of a branch br, i.e., line or transformer, is constrained by its ampacity Re 2 i br,m + Im 2 i br,m ≤ i max br 2 , ∀br ∈ BR. (9) Although the generator's DCC is autonomous, i.e., it is independent of the other generators' export paths, or their active power dispatch, the following should be noted: the thermal loading measurements, fed back to the DCC, are not strictly local, since they are taken along the generator's export path.…”
