Hi Dr. Zimmerman,

Just to let you know that currently I am analyzing  branch flows in a
modified IEEE 118 benchmark problem. I have observed that  there exists
cases as given in red below in where the *To* and *From *bus *P value* is
(+) which means that it is giving to each other, hence the losses is the
sum of both the (+) values, hence does this mean that the flow is 0 on this
branch? and is there possibility for both to and from end to be receiving
from each other too (both P values (-)). And if there is than what is the
branch flow?



     Branch Data

========================================================================
Brnch   From   To    From Bus Injection   To Bus Injection     Loss (I^2 *
Z)
  #        Bus    Bus    P (MW)   Q (MVAr)   P (MW)   Q (MVAr)   P (MW)   Q
(MVAr)
  77        54     55     -4.99       -72.73          5.89       74.39
    0.895       3.74
  78        54     56      7.75       -633.11         3.53       671.51
  11.276     39.

Thank you for your valuable time.

Sincerely,
Sashi
