Abstract
Autonomous, self-adjusting, and distributed line flow processing for a network having nodes with branches coupling adjacent ones of the nodes and components coupled to the nodes. Systems, methods, and software made in accordance with this disclosure can be used to identify where power flows can exceed the maximum transfer limit in each line and to enable automated adjustments in order to avoid such conditions. These can be useful tools for both system operators of large electrical networks and for implementing automated schemes to ensure network feasibility in micro-grids or other networks with many smart components embedded with communications and/or computation capabilities.
