The direction and magnitude of active power moving through network elements such as busbars, lines, transformers, and interconnectors.

A study of how electrical demand is supplied by sources through the network under a given topology and operating condition.

Overload Shedding; a controlled trip action intended to relieve overloaded equipment or corridors.
