SEE Electricity Market Perspectives until 2030: Assessing the Impact of Regional Connections to Italy

client: USEA, USAID

type: Study

finishing date: November 2016

team: Milan Stojanovic - Project manager, N.Jovic and Dj. Dobrijevic – Consultants, B. Sijakovic, M. Markovic

The project is the second phase of larger project. The second phase is to assess perspective electricity market behavior in SEE region considering:

  1. influence of generation development involving RES,
  2. markets integration and
  3. the subsequent needs for transmission investments.

Electricity market and network analyses in the second project phase are applied iteratively. Regional market studies provide perspective generation and load patterns and consequential exchange patterns. The most critical patterns such as highest utilization of HVDC cables towards Italy, highest consumption or highest RES penetration are further analyzed as selected cases for network studies. Regional network studies analyze the capability of SEE transmission grid to handle these various cases of generation dispatch identified in the market study, recognize possible network congestions and suggest corresponding infrastructure strengthening.

Type of services provided:

  • Load flow, voltage profile and losses variation
  • Security analyses (N-1)
  • NTC (re)-assessment on highly loaded transmission corridors
