Parallel Path Flow

As defined by NERC, this refers to the actual flow of electric power on an electric system’s transmission facilities resulting from scheduled electric power transfers between two other electric systems. (Electric power flows on all interconnected parallel paths in amounts inversely proportional to each path’s resistance.) Contract transmission paths, the electricity contracted for between sellers and buyers, do not define the way electricity actually flows.
