| Jul 3, 2014 at 7:02 | comment | added | Santi Peñate-Vera | I you want to know the basis I suggest you to have a look at this wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study. It explains the power flow study. I is quite complicated (At least to me it was) One does not get the feeling of how things work untill you play with power flow programs and test the effects of increasing generation or load. | |

| Jul 2, 2014 at 16:30 | comment | added | cluelesscoder | Thanks, this hits at the question in the way I was hoping for but unfortunately it's a bit too lacking in technical detail for me to be satisfied. Is there empirical evidence or documentation on at what point the "pipes" could burst? In the pipe analogy, it seems either the pipe would spring a leak or the water would rush out of either end - but it seems like people say that this doesn't happen as much as it would with water? | |
