A method for generating graphs to derive maximum flow and its evaluation

Abstract

The study presents a “virtual grid system” currently being developed by the authors. The system consists of a power supply, load, and virtual grid hub (VG-Hub) network connecting them. The VG-Hub network must have a large power distribution capability. Therefore, the challenge is to obtain a graph to evaluate the maximum feasible flow when multiple VG-Hubs are connected to a power source or load. In this paper, we propose a method for generating a graph to derive the maximum feasible flow. A quantitative evaluation of the proposed method is presented.
