This TNA software module aims at the calculation of loop flows originated by each modelled area of an interconnected network (basically, Continental Europe), at the tie lines and selected branches (CB/CO pairs).

It is possible to determine loop flows, natural flows and exchange flows, automatically at series of datasets (consecutive hours of a day, month, year).

Module provides the calculation of nodal PTDF factors, which converts the injections at nodes of balanced network models, into the contributions of the loop flows at the observed network elements.

This calculation is used for the identification of sources of power flows, at the allocation of costs of the multilateral remedial actions.
