Northeast Asia Power Interconnection Routs and Representative Studies in South Korea

Abstract

In this paper, we present recent representative case studies about technical and economical considerations for the power system interconnection in Northeast Asia (NEA). These activities on interconnection between countries or areas in a NEA have been considered and presented from many sides including considering political and economical situations. In South Korea, recent studies of power system interconnection are trending toward specific technical and economical considerations for each of several scenarios. In this paper, strategies for future power system interconnection routs in Northeast Asia (NEA) are presented for various cases of power system interconnections, and include reliability studies, power flow studies on technical sides and economic feasibility studies.
