Abstract
As mentioned in the previous chapter, the continuation method is a mathematical path-following methodology used to solve systems of nonlinear equations. The numerical derivation of this method is shown in [1]. Using the continuation method, we can track a solution branch around the turning point without difficulty. This makes the continuation method quite attractive in approximations of the critical point in a power system. The continuation power flow captures this path-following feature by means of a predictor-corrector scheme that adopts locally parameterized continuation techniques to trace the power flow solution paths. The next sections explain the principles of continuation power flow.
