Abstract:This paper describes an optimization-based procedure that identifies the maximum power flow that each branch in an electrical network could be exposed to. The procedure uses a linear optimal power flow formulation that determines the flow-maximising generator dispatch and loading conditions for each branch in turn. This theoretical upper bound on the power flow that a branch could be exposed to is termed its loadability. The paper proposes this loadability as a descriptive structural metric that helps reveal t… Show more
