<\/p>\nSession duration: 30-45 min + 15 min round-table discussion<\/p>\n
In recent years, Slovenian and Croatian electricity systems have been increasingly challenged by four contradictory influences: increasing support of renewable energy sources (RES) integration, lower electricity consumption due to the economic crisis, a growing lack of centralized electricity production for electric system support as well as high interconnectivity between the neighboring control zones. Consequently, the Slovenian and Croatian transmission systems are facing overvoltage issues as well as a decrease in secondary reserve capacities. This also affects the security of supply at European level because of the major transit flows hosted by the two countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Slovenian and Croatian TSOs and DSOs started separately addressing these issues in 2014. <\/strong>Classical engineering approaches to address them were taken into account in the two existing TYNDPs. They studied first the implementation of technical measures within each control zone, but soon came to the conclusion that:<\/p>\n Therefore joint actions would create synergies and solve the problem in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n The TSOs and DSOs therefore agreed to work together to address all the pending issues and designed a joint cross-border systemic approach <\/strong>to bring enduring solutions to all of the four above issues at once.<\/p>\n They end up with the smart grid PCI<\/strong> SINCRO.GRID investment project<\/strong>: it is an innovative system integration <\/strong>of several mature technology components<\/strong> where synergies<\/strong> among all the proposed solutions are searched to maximize the investment impact onto both electric systems and create further regional benefits.<\/p>\n The main components of the SINCRO.GRID project are:<\/p>\n The SINCRO.GRID project integrates new active elements in the transmission and distribution grids, managed via a virtual cross-border control centre involving advanced data management, common system optimization and generation\/consumption forecasting, thanks to increased cross-border cooperation between TSOs and DSOs. A key aspect of the SINCRO.GRID project lies in the synergy brought by the simultaneous deployment of a portfolio of mature technology-based solutions: jointly, they bring high benefits and positive externalities.<\/p>\n The investment value of the SINCRO.GRID project amounts to 88.6 million Euro, and at the end of February 2017, financing was approved by Connecting Europe Facility \u2013 CEF fund (European commission) in the amount of 40.5 million Euro, i.e. 51% of the eligible costs since the submission of the application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Session duration: 30-45 min + 15 min round-table discussion In recent years, Slovenian and Croatian electricity systems have been increasingly challenged by […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-900","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
