This paper presents a concept of reactive reserve based contingency constrained optimal power flow (RCCOPF). RCCOPF for enhancement of interface flow limit is composed of two modules, which are the modified continuation power flow (MCPF) and reactive optimal power flow (ROPF). In RCCOPF, two modules are repeatedly performed to increase interface flow margins of selected contingent states until satisfying the required enhancement of interface flow limit. In numerical simulation, a simple example with New England 39-bus test system is shown.
