This module calculates the limiting MW transfer value between two control areas (source and sink) that is available without any violation of security limits.

General Characteristics

  • ETSO methodology (load flow based, MW generation shift)
  • Large flexibility in limit handling (individual activation of limits)
  • Consideration of user-defined contingency scenarios
  • Consideration of Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM )

Results

The outcome of the calculation is a list of the limit violations for every step of increasing the MW transfer from source to sink as for

  • the base case
  • each contingency case

The module provides calculation of the Total Transfer Capacity (TTC) and the Net Transfer Capacity (NTC).
