Background

Since the 70s studies have been performed for

various interconnection options between the
networks of GR, TR & BG.
Tie lines were built with all neighbouring
countries.

None of the tie lines have been operated in

synchronism.

By 90s the studies revealed that the projects for

the synchronous connection of the Turkish power
system to UCTE is feasible and viable.

MEDELEC/ 20-21 March 2008, Casablanca

22

limiting factors

Two main limiting factors were identified for exchange patterns:

between Turkey and Northeast Europe the transfer capability is
limited by :
the thermal limit of lines in the Serbia-Romania
interconnection area.
betweenTurkey and Southeast Europe the transfer capability is
limited by:
contingencies in the Bulgaria 400 kV ring
contingencies in the 400 kV interconnection lines between
Bosnia and Serbia.

Summary Results of Static

Studies
The interconnection of the Turkish
EPS with the UCTE system is
technically feasible from the static
security point.

The connection of Turkish EPS to

UCTE by three lines provides the
necessary technical conditions for
import/export of significant amount
of electricity:
NTC for the import to Turkey is
within the range of 8001300 MW;
NTC for the export from Turkey is
within the range of 10001100 MW.

The system interconnection of Turkey to UCTE is feasible under

following conditions:

the existing inherent frequency control problem is resolved

positive damping effect of AVR for the 0,15 Hz inter-area

oscillations is assured in the majority of generation units (new PSS)

A System Protection Scheme at the interface is necessary to

manage extreme contingencies

The power transfer from Turkey to UCTE must not exceed 500
MW during the trial operation
