Improving system loading capacity using margin sensitivity and continuation

Margin sensitivity is useful in determining the effectiveness of different parameters for the purpose of enhancing system loading margin. The paper shows that determining margin sensitivity is equivalent to a predictor stage of a continuation technique similar to CPF and that for cases in which sensitivity is not adequately accurate adding a few corrector steps would leads to better results. The paper also shows how two parameter continuation technique can be adapted to assess the effect of different controls on loading margin.
