Discussion on regional operation of EU power systems | Jens Møller Birkebækt

On the sidelines of the FSR Executive Seminar on EU Power system operation and solidarity: the issues and practices, Pradyumna Bhagwat (FSR) and Jens Møller Birkebækt (Energinet.dk) discuss the regional operation of EU power systems. It can be expected that with growing interdependencies of markets and renewable implementation, there would be greater dependence on regional coordination of all activities related to power systems. The availability of a common grid model would not only be beneficial for the operations of the TSOs but also for all customers in the future. In the context emergency events, the risk of such events occuring will always exist. Therefore, it is important to be prepared for the restoration of the system if such low probability events do occur. Understanding how the system reacts, the adequacy of generation and the system state at a regional perspective would enable TSOs to restore the system more efficiently and may also aid in preventing crises.
