I want to intentionally induce congestion on a line for experimental purposes. As I have understood this could be happened if I change the "rating.winter.emergency" and "rating.summer.emergency" parameters. I would like to ask if this is true because I observed that when I set this parameters to very small values, there are no warnings for line overloadings. I mean the warnings displayed by the GLD.
Is this way the proper way to intentionally induce congestion? If not, can you give me some tip?
Sincerely

Well, I'm not really sure it's the "proper" way to introduce congestion. Artificially lowering the limit doesn't introduce any congestion (e.g., large voltage drops), only sets a flag when to throw a warning (i.e., it has no effect on the simulation). The "proper" way to introduce congestion would be to (1) add a fixed load to the system or (2) replace the current line/transformer of interest with a smaller conductor/transformer.
However, to artificially reduce the limit, you will need to set the "rating.X.continuous" limits also.
