Abstract
In this paper, new formulations of the power flow and continuation power flow that allow for electro-thermal coupling in transmission lines have been proposed. The new formulations capture the overhead lines' electro-thermal coupling effects by treating their series resistances as temperature dependent variables. They generate results that can differ from the results of conventional formulations markedly, particularly for problems centring on line impedances. The paper demonstrates this by applying the new formulations to the power transfer limit calculation. Generally, power transfer limits are defined either by encountering a line's thermal limit or detecting the onset of voltage collapse in the system. Studies based on 2-bus and 14-bus test systems are used to demonstrate the efficacy of the new formulations for both situations. For these studies, specific point-to-point power transfer limits are calculated with and without the lines' electro-thermal coupling effects and the results are compared.
