Grid stability

Grid stability

The transmission system is vital to the security of power supply, with measures including flexibility. Here, a transmission system operator (TSO) plays a key role. Its responsibilities include a secure supply of electricity in its control area, the borders of which usually coincide with national borders. Within its control area, the TSO is in charge of approving generation and consumption schedules, balancing the system, and procuring ancillary services. A TSO also operates and maintains the high-voltage transmission network.

Power quality should be high

One of the main requirements in the power system, in addition to security of supply, is that consumers receive high-quality power. This implies the right voltage and frequency (50 Hz), a low level of the so-called higher harmonic components, and no interruptions in supply.

Consumers in Europe are tailored to a power system that operates at a frequency of 50 Hz. Even a moderate variation in frequency could put at risk the operation of the electrical devices we use at home or in industrial processes. Overvoltage or overcurrent can cause damage to insulation in electrical devices or to their electronic components.

 

 

 

Challenges
Project
The subsection Network: Grid stability was created in collaboration with:
Jurij Klančnik
Jurij Klančnik
Director, TSO Division, ELES, d.o.o.

Jurij Klančnik works at ELES as the Transmission System Operation Director. His main areas of expertise include power system operation and electricity markets, particularly in relation to cross-border transmission capacity allocation and procurement of ancillary services.

Klančnik serves as a member of various international bodies: the ENTSO-E General Assembly, CORE HLM, NBI SC, TSCNET, etc.

For iEnergy he provided input on Grid stability.

Darko Kramar
Darko Kramar
Assistant Director, TSO Division, ELES, d.o.o.

Darko Kramar is an expert on power system operation and electricity markets, and a member of staff at ELES, d.o.o., the Slovenian TSO for electricity.

At ELES, Kramar's responsibilities include the stability of the power system, ancillary services, cross-border transmission capacity, and power system balancing. He represents ELES in the ENTSO-E Operational Steering Committee, and serves as the deputy coordinator of the international development project FutureFlow.
