3. Interconnected networks: how does it work?
This section briefly recalls the main technical concepts used to operate a meshed network such as a transmission system, then explains how this operation is modified (as it is shared between several TSOs and control centers) in the case of the European interconnected network.
3.1 Missions of a control center – non-interconnected system
The mission of a control center is to perform two functions at all times:
The balance between production and demand, both instantaneous and forecast;
Maintaining the distribution of energy flows on the network's facilities within acceptable limits in terms of their technical capacities, while guaranteeing predefined...
