Optimizing Electricity Transmission with the Ford–Fulkerson Algorithm Electricity transmission is a crucial aspect of modern infrastructure, ensuring that power generated at plants reaches consumers efficiently. However, optimizing this transmission to reduce losses and improve efficiency is a significant challenge. In this blog, we explore the Ford–Fulkerson Algorithm, inspired by the research paper "Optimization of Electricity Transmission by Ford–Fulkerson Algorithm" published in ScienceDirect . We will break down the algorithm, demonstrate its implementation, and discuss its real-world applications. Understanding the Ford–Fulkerson Algorithm The Ford–Fulkerson Algorithm is used to compute the maximum flow in a network. It represents a flow network where edges have capacities, and the goal is to find the maximum possible flow from a source (power plant) to a sink (consumer region). Steps of the Algorithm Initialize flow as 0. Find an augmenting path from the source t...
