Units: | MW |
Mode: | Input/Output |
Multi-band: | True |
Default Value: | 1E+30 |
Validation Rule: | Any Value |
Key Property: | No |
Description: | Maximum flow |
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 |
As output Line Max Flow is the maximum value of Flow in the reporting period.
