Power flow router sensititvities for post-contingency corrective control

Power electronics based power flow routers are powerful tools that provide easy and cost-effective control of power flows in large-scale electricity networks. By adding additional controls, fast power flow routing can increase the secure operational range of bulk power systems both during normal operations and contingencies. Increased integration of power flow routers could allow the bulk power system to operate at a lower cost while maintaining, and possibly increasing, the level of security. In this paper, we develop power flow router sensitivities that enable corrective flow routing capabilities during post-contingency conditions.
