Line Max Flow

Units:MW
Mode:Input/Output
Multi-band:True
Default Value:1E+30
Validation Rule:Any Value
Key Property:No
Description:Maximum flow
Input

As input Line Max Flow sets the maximum allowable flow on the line (otherwise known as the Line's thermal limit). The user must set the Zero Treatment Limit as Unlimited to include lines with no defined Max Flow and Min Flow values.

By default a Line may flow in both directions with the maximum flow allowed in the counter-reference direction assumed to be the negative of Max Flow. If you need to set a different limit in that direction use the Min Flow property.

To de-rate a transmission line for a period of time use Max Rating and Min Rating. For example, in the following case, the lines are given ratings for summer and winter periods.

Example:

Line Property Value Units Timeslice
A-B Max Flow 1000 MW
A-B Max Rating 1000 MW SUMMER
A-B Max Rating 900 MW WINTER
Output

As output Line Max Flow is the maximum value of Flow in the reporting period.
