client: RWE (Germany)
type: Study (Transmission, Generation)
finishing date: June 2009

The aim of the study is to thoroughly examine the possibility of connected large new power units to the 400 kV transmission network of Albania, considering the state of 400, 220 and 110 kV network in future period in year 2016 and to provide the best possible solution for its connection, as well as to check distribution possibilities of electric power to neighboring EPSs (Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Italy) for different scenarios.
The first objective of the study is verification that transmission ability of the transmission network of Albania will not be exceeded or to propose solution for secure delivery of electric power energy from new sources.
The second objective of study is analysis of NTC assessment for different scenarios in order to check transmission network ability and propose, if any, new necessary network reinforcement in case of power exchange between neighboring EPSs.
