Lambda, a scalar quantity, represents the fraction of additional load/generation (transfer) on the network. The continuation power flow finds solutions starting from lambda = 0 (base loading/generation) to lambda_max (nose-point, max. loading/generation).
You can translate the lambda value to a loading value by Sd_i = Sd_base + lambda_i*(Sd_target – Sd_base) Where Sd_base and Sd_target are the base and target loads, respectively, and Sd_i is the load with lambda = lambda_i.

The plot shows ‘voltage vs lambda’ (the code in the manual -page 54) Best regards Fouad Hasan
