2200 MW EMAL Interconnection Network Studies started in Paris, France. A large aluminum producer EMAL has decided to install a large factory in Abu Dhabi close to Taweelah substation. The consumption is forecasted at 1200 MW for the two pot lines and with its own generation to feed this demand, two combined cycle blocks (two Gas turbines and one steam for each block) and two additional gas turbines will be installed for a total capacity around 2200 MW). This factory is planned to be in operation for the year 2010. TRANSCO (Abu Dhabi power company) requires to evaluate the impact of this new large customer to its system, for that purpose it has requested EDF assistance. This project will be realized jointly by EDF CIST and EKC under long term cooperation agreement.

Next SECI work group meeting will be also held in Istanbul in Turkey on 25-26th March. In this two day session all ongoing activities will be reviewed (update of regional model for 2015 and 2020, progress on ongoing activities etc.), and also presentation of dynamic model for 2015. One of other major issue will be start of new study “Uncertainties in the SEE Transmission Network and Evaluation of Risk for Future Infrastructure Investments”. Second day, joint session with BSTP project working group will be held in which both project experts will able to demonstrate their achievements and exchange of experience.

Next Black Sea work group meeting will be held in Istanbulin Turkey on 25-26th March. In this two day session all ongoing activities will be reviewed…(update of regional model for 2010 and dynamic model building 2010, progress on ongoing activities etc.) and also extending the project models to 2015. One of other major issue will be finalization of load flow models for 2010 and finalization of initial dynamic model (corresponds to regional model 2010). Second day, joint sesion with SECI project working group will be held in which both project experts will able to demonstrate their achievements and exchange of experience.

Western Balkans Infrastructure Projects Facility - Energy – Montenegro started with kick-off meeting in Podgorica, Montenegro. Western Balkans Infrastructure Projects Facility (IPF) is a project that has been established with the aim of increasing the number of projects in the region that can be put forward to financial institutions for funding, and therefore to implementation. The project helps countries develop projects and programs that will further economic development in those countries, and then tries to match those developed projects with financiers. IPF is an EU-funded project, and is being implemented by a consortium of international expertise, led by WYG International. The project is expected to continue operating until 2012. with main objective to support the development and upgrading of infrastructure, to help create the conditions for sustainable economic development in the region.

After a 3-year investigation phase UCTE-IPS/UPS Feasibility Study, study analysing the feasibility of a possible synchronous coupling of the power systems of IPS/UPS with UCTE has been completed. Based on the study results UCTE has been worked out and endorsed together with its Eastern project partners the key conclusions of the study...This Study has investigated the synchronous coupling of the IPS/UPS and UCTE power systems under consideration of key technical, organizational and legal aspects.
Study brings to evidence that a synchronous coupling between UCTE and IPS/UPS is feasible upon implementing several technical, operational and organizational measures and establishing the legal framework as identified in the study.
Regarding the transfer capacities across the interface the steady state analysis shows that the potential power exchanges between UCTE and IPS/UPS are limited mainly due to internal congestions in the systems concerned. Therefore, a synchronous coupling would require investments in the transmission grids on both sides of the interface in order to maintain the transfer capacities available to the markets at present in both synchronous areas. Additional transmission system investments are necessary to ensure significant increase of power exchanges.
Performed dynamic stability analysis underlines the sensitivity to inter-area power oscillations of the synchronously coupled system structure. While ordinary operational disturbances are withstood by both the coupled and uncoupled systems, severe disturbances lead to wide-area oscillations in the coupled systems which could decrease system security. Necessary countermeasures require investments both in the generation and transmission sectors.
Study reveals the need for further investigations to refine and endorse the above mentioned measures and requirements. Major identified areas for further studies are:
a. verification of the IPS/UPS dynamic performance by longer-time observations
b. analysis of emergency situations in IPS/UPS caused by severe disturbances with purpose to adapt and harmonize the currently existing operational guidelines, defence and restoration plans of both synchronous areas.
c. analysis of organizational aspects of the synchronous operation under consideration of several control blocks in IPS/UPS.
In order to achieve a joint, world-largest electricity market platform between UCTE and IPS/UPS synchronous areas the construction of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links between the interface countries may be considered as a medium-term alternative solution for system coupling which, however, deserves separate investigations.
The completion of the Feasibility Study has opened a new era in the cooperation between Western and Eastern TSOs/companies responsible for a reliable operation of the transmission systems and has delivered substantial achievements for both experts and companies’ executives in both systems in terms of working methods, implemented tools and building up mutual understanding.
