Grid modeling
Objectives of the TradeWind study• Investigate power flows across Europe• Effect of moving weather conditions• Identify main bottlenecks
Context• Europe is zonal markets• National networks developed to be cooper
plates• Main structural bottlenecks at national frontiers
Note: issue of network data availability

Grid modeling
Dilemmas• Can we get the detailed model from the TSOs?• Robustness of the model?
– solving 8760 hourly snapshots, data processing
• Location of generation, wind farms, demand?• Temporal variations of the demand?• Budget?
The chosen approach• Public grid model• Only cross-border constraints• DC power flow• At the end of the project, grid model available from the
TSOs

Modeling issues
Transmission bottlenecks• Anticipated main bottlenecks
– Detailed task in the project – Cross-country analyses
• All relevant bottlenecks should be included– Surely cross-border– For some countries also internal lines
• Future network reinforcements• Modeling of wind farms
– Correlation with the wind speed data– Grid connection?
• Treatment of hydro power– Water reservoir levels

Main lessons learned
• TradeWind changed the scene for integration studies
– Breakthrough on data availability– UCTE research model now available– Fruitful collaboration with the TSOs
• Methodology and data for future integration studies– Hour-by-hour investigations covering multiple years– Huge database of wind speeds, conversion curves, wind
capacity expansion scenarios, etc
• Large scale market simulations with grid constraints
– Allowing for more realistic results
