The '''Holomorphic Embedded Load Flow Method'''(HELM)
Line 33:
This makes HELM particularly suited for real-time applications, and mandatory for any EMS software based on exploratory algorithms, such as contingency analysis, and under alert and emergency conditions solving operational limits violations and restoration providing guidance through action plans.<br />

== <h2>Holomorphic Embedding == </h2><br />
Consider the following general form for the load-flow equations:<br />
<br />
Line 55:
A more detailed discussion about this procedure is included in the Holomorphic Embedding Wikipedia page, and a complete treatment is offered in Ref.<br/>

== <h2>Analytic Continuation ==</h2><br/>
Once the power series at <math>s=0</math> are calculated to the desired order, the problem of calculating them at <math>s=1</math> becomes one of [[analytic continuation]]. It should be strongly remarked that this does not have anything in common with the techniques of homotopic continuation. Homotopy is powerful since it only makes use of the concept of continuity and thus it is applicable to general smooth nonlinear systems, but on the other hand it does not always provide a reliable method to approximate the functions (as it relies on iterative schemes such as Newton-Raphson).<br/><br/>
It can be proven that algebraic curves are complete global analytic functions, that is, knowledge of the power series expansion at one point (the so-called germ of the function) uniquely determines the function everywhere on the complex plane, except on a finite number of branch cuts. Stahl’s extremal ___domain theorem further asserts that there exists a maximal ___domain for the analytic continuation of the function, which corresponds to the choice of branch cuts with minimal logarithmic capacity measure. In the case of algebraic curves the number of cuts is finite, therefore it would be feasible to find maximal continuations by finding the combination of cuts with minimal capacity. For further improvements, Stahl’s theorem on the convergence of Padé Approximants states that the diagonal and supra-diagonal Padé (or equivalently, the continued fraction approximants to the power series) converge to the maximal analytic continuation. The zeros and poles of the approximants remarkably accumulate on the set of branch cuts having minimal capacity.<br/><br/>

<li>It is a well-known fact that the load flow equations for a power system have multiple solutions. For a network with N non-swing buses, the system may have up to 2N possible solutions, but only one is actually possible in the real electrical system.
