Abstract

This chapter addresses the power flow problem, including its formulation, its solution, and its analysis in specific cases. The solution of the power flow problem provides a snapshot of the power system under analysis, which can then be utilized to assess the health of its operation state. The power flow is a fundamental tool in any power system control center.
