On Wednesday, April 18th in Basel, system operators of transmission networks from the Alpine region participated in the ENTSO-E organized conference “Alpine Power Links”.  The participants considered issues related to major changes in the field of electric power transmission: how can the region contribute with solutions in the area of power market integration, operational and planning coordination and innovation; what is the contribution of the region to the European electricity system in the interest of customers; what is the role of Network Codes in taking the regional and European integration from promise to practice? 

Uroš Salobir, M.Sc discussed the importance of the innovative projects SINCRO.GRID, FutureFlow and OSMOSE for successfully confronting the challenges in the field of electric power transmission and fulfilling the common goal – a carbon-free society. 

Salobir pointed out that, by installing compensating devices and battery storage units, as well as by increasing the thermal capacities of the transmission lines, the SINCRO.GRID project partners will make the existing infrastructure more efficient and enable greater integration of RES into the transmission and distribution grid.
