Network Modeling & Hosting Capacity
Keep an accurate electrical or hydraulic model of the network and use it to find where it is constrained and how much new load or generation each part can accept.
- Power Flow Analysis
- Hydraulic Modeling
- Hosting Capacity Analysis
In scope
- Building and maintaining the connectivity model used for studies
- Power flow, short circuit and hydraulic studies
- Hosting capacity maps for generation and load
- Identifying thermal, voltage and pressure constraints
Out of scope
- Real-time network state and the as-operated model used by the control room (see BC-1530.10, BC-1530.30.40)
- Asset records and hierarchy (see BC-680.10.10)

- BC-1510.20.10Network Connectivity ModelMaintain a planning model of conductors, pipes, switches and equipment that matches the as-built network closely enough to study.
- BC-1510.20.20Power Flow & Fault StudiesRun load flow, voltage and short circuit studies to test whether the network stays within limits under normal and contingency conditions.
- BC-1510.20.30Hydraulic Network StudiesSimulate flows, pressures and storage in water and wastewater networks to find shortfalls and test proposed changes.
- BC-1510.20.40Hosting Capacity MappingCalculate and publish how much generation or load each part of the network can take without upgrades, and keep it current.
