Preparation activities about construction of the TPP Ugljevik 3 are currently in progress in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This power plant should be designed in accordance with the best available technology and fulfil environmental standards of the European Union.

To be sure about feasibility of optimum technical integration of the proposed unit(s) into the 400kV transmission system, there is a need to check that the transmission network in B&H will accommodate connection of such plant in 400 kV voltage level. Consequently, a feasibility Study of connection of the TPP UGLJEVIK 3 to the B&H transmission network should be performed. The study must answer and give evidence, using a model calculation, under which conditions it is possible to install, operate with, and connect the TPP to the network in Ugljevik site.

The aim of the study is to thoroughly examine the possibility of constructing the TPP Ugljevik 3, which is to be connected to the transmission network of B&H, considering the state of 400, 220 and 110 kV network in future period till 2018 and to provide the best possible solution for its connection.

Since the construction of the TPP Ugljevik 3 is presumed to be in two phases, it is necessary to perform analyses for 2016, when the commissioning of Unit 3 is expected, and for 2018, when Unit 4 is in operation.

The objective of the study is verification that transmission ability of the transmission network of B&H will not be exceeded or to propose solution for secure, reliable and qualitative delivery of electric power energy from the TPP Ugljevik 3 to EPS B&H.
