Description:	Flow on the interface

Interface Flow, in reporting by interval, is the net flow on the interface, or:

\begin{align} \text{Interface Flow } =& \sum_{\text{Lines}} \text{Flow Coefficient} \times \text{Line Flow} + \text{Flow Forward Coefficient} \times \max(0,\text{Line Flow}) + \text{Flow Back Coefficient} \times \text{Line Flow Back} \\ &+ \sum_{\text{Tranformers}} \text{Flow Coefficient} \times \text{Transformer Flow} \end{align}

This sum shows both net and directed Line Flow terms. In practice the interface would use just one set of Line flow coefficients.

In reporting summary values (day, week, etc) Flow is defined as the sum of flows in the reference direction and Flow Back is the total flow in the counter-reference direction,
