ISGT Europe 2018 - CROSSBOW – CROSS-BOrder management of variable renewable energies and storage units enabling a transnational Wholesale market

The CROSSBOW project is a platform for enabling the aggregated use of renewable energy resources, demand side management and electrical energy storage in 8 South-East European countries. The project is expected to develop a framework and algorithms that will provide guidance to deploy advanced techniques in order to facilitate an increased cross border power transfer at the national and transnational level, while ensuring at all times network voltage, angular and frequency stability. The session will provide a general overview of the project vision and its expected contributions to facilitate the operational flexibility of transnational power networks with a high penetration of renewable energy resources. It will present about the Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS/WAMPAC) information, which will facilitate (a) real-time decision making, (b) faster and more recise stability problems localization, (c) identification of important factors for WAMPAC implementation, and (d) automated decision-making systems based on WAMS data for increasing the reliability of the power system. Following that, the panel will discuss about the legislative and regulatory issues to facilitate cross-border power exchange and maximizing the benefit of transnational wholesale market. Furthermore, the discussion will be focused on electrical energy storage resources connected at TSO and DSO networks. Also, the session will give a brief overview of the current situation in the transmission system of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as future prospects in terms of cross � border management solutions foreseen by the CROSSBOW project.
