The transmission system operators TRANSELECTRICA (TEL-Romania) and EMS (Serbia) have decided to increase the interconnection capacity on the common border by building a new 400 kV transmission line.
The aim of the new 400 kV interconnection line is to serve both system operators in achieving the common goal – a more reliable power supply to the customers at a lower electricity price.
In the same context, TEL has decided to upgrade the transmission line corridor in the Western part of Romania from 220 kV to 400 kV voltage level, in order to facilitate the evacuation of exceeding power from hydro, thermal power plants and future wind power park planned in the same area).
With these goals, the authors have been prepared a report regarding the feasibility of the project.
The paper presents only the most important results obtained regarding the system study and the optimal solution for corridor transforming.
