With the growing share of distributed energy sources and energy storage, the problem of high-voltage line overloads is becoming one of the key challenges of modern power systems. This paper proposes a method to eliminate transmission line overloads by coordinating power changes among selected generation units, loads, and energy storage units, with network reconfiguration as needed. A key element of the proposed approach is identifying the controllable elements most strongly associated with overload patterns in post-contingency scenarios. These elements were identified using statistical correlation coefficients describing the relationship between line loading levels and the power generated, consumed, or stored at individual buses. Correlation analysis was used to determine a subset of candidate elements most relevant to the observed overload patterns, thereby reducing the dimension of the control problem.
