Abstract
Cooperative effort among electrical energy utilities is one possible response to increasing stress on generation and transmission systems. Increased interregional flows are a direct consequence of cooperative efforts. Any inefficient electrical flows that may occur among cooperating utilities represent a real cost to society because energy is lost. The Southeast region of the United States provides an ideal situation for investigating the efficiency of flows of electricity. The out-of-kilter algorithm (OKA) is applied to the electrical system of the Southeast abstracted as a graph. Flows are analyzed under various assumptions concerning generative efficiency. Texas and Florida are established as areas where cooperative efforts are inhibited by lack of transmission capacity under possible stress.
