Abstract

Results of the next round of studies on Russian interstate electric ties are described. A part of the Eurasian region including European and Siberian part of Russia and countries of Central Asia, Caucasus, Southern Asia and Middle East is considered for 2040 target year. Great effectiveness of creation of interstate power grid in this region is shown.

Highlights

The current political conditions, the desire to synchronize the electric power systems (EPSs) of the Baltic states, Ukraine, Moldova with the EPSs of the EU countries, the restoration of the Central Asian energy connection, the development of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which has significant energy reserves, and some other circumstances, served as a motivation for additional research of integration electric power projects of Russia in the Caucasian, Central Asian and Middle East directions [1-3 et al.]
The target year was assumed to be 2040. These studies are relevant in the framework of signed in 20192020 documents, such as: Agreement on the joint development of a feasibility study for the project to create the North-South energy corridor between the power systems of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation [5] and the Protocol on the creation of a common electric power market of five EAEU member states: the Russian Federation, the Republic of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan [2]
The object of research is a part of the Eurasia region, shown in Fig. 1, where the Interconnected Power Systems (IPSs) of Russia and the countries of Eurasia participating in this interstate power grid (ISPG) are indicated

Summary

Introduction

The current political conditions, the desire to synchronize the electric power systems (EPSs) of the Baltic states, Ukraine, Moldova with the EPSs of the EU countries, the restoration of the Central Asian energy connection, the development of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which has significant energy reserves, and some other circumstances, served as a motivation for additional research of integration electric power projects of Russia in the Caucasian, Central Asian and Middle East directions [1-3 et al.]. The target year was assumed to be 2040 These studies are relevant in the framework of signed in 20192020 documents, such as: Agreement on the joint development of a feasibility study for the project to create the North-South energy corridor between the power systems of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation [5] and the Protocol on the creation of a common electric power market of five EAEU member states: the Russian Federation, the Republic of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan [2]. This substantially rises the transfer capacities of the ISETs allowing countries to exchange intensively electricity and power among each other. Comparison of the main indicators (capacities additions, investments, objective function value, etc.) of Scenario 2 with the similar total indicators of Scenario 1 allows us to evaluate the optimal development of the transfer capacities of ISETs and the maximum possible system integration effects of NPSs in the ISPG
