ABSTRACT:
Restoring electrical power as fast as possible is important in disaster management. In case of a disaster however, most of the lines are destroyed and the network has to run at its limits to supply as much power as possible. Under this circumstances, it can happen that adding/enabling/repairing a line can decrease the networks capacity. The purpose of my work is to investigate this behaviour, also called Braess Paradox. It is not well investigated in relevant literature because power networks normally do not run at full capacity for safety reasons.
