Regional Planning of South-East European
Transmission Networks
This project was initiated within the South-East European Cooperative Initiative
(SECI). Its main aim is to promote regional cooperation in the area of transmission
system planning.
The regional transmission networks planning project was initiated as one of a succession
of projects which were defined for the purpose of creating expert and
legal prerequisites for the opening of a regional electricity market between
South-East European countries. The project team will cooperate with national elec74
tric utility companies in order to examine existing data and planned projects, and
try to improve the exchange of relevant data.
The software package Power System Simulator for Engineers (PSS/E) will be procured
within the framework of the project, as one of the most adequate tools for
transmission network analysis and planning. In addition, GTMAX - a tool for an
integrated analysis of generation and transmission will also be procured. This tool
is needed for preparing input data that is fed into PSS/E.
The concrete aims of the project are to assemble individual technical data from
national transmission networks and develop a unique regional PSS/E model both
for short- and mid-term period. In addition, static and dynamic regional transmission
network planning studies shall be elaborated. Their goal is to identify and solve
the problem of bottlenecks in regional transmission networks. Moreover, the
role of new potential interconnections within the region shall be analysed as well
as the possibilities for the exchange of power within the region and toward the
rest of the UCTE network. The problem of reactive power compensation shall be identified and solutions will be proposed, and an analysis of characteristic dynamic
states of the regional power system will be performed.
