This article shows how the use of incremental transfer capability curves can be beneficial toward ensuring the secure and efficient operation of a power transmission system. Explains that when a rescheduling of power transfers is needed to relieve overloading problems, the curves can be used to change the transfers by a precise amount in the most effective manner. Points out that the curves are constructed on the assumption that a transmission system behaves in a linear fashion. Notes that use of the graphs enables the determination of actual simultaneous multidirectional transfer capabilities, which provides the ability to maximize the utilization of the available transmission margin without jeopardizing the security of the system.
