South-East European Transmission Systems Operators' Challenges (SEETSOC)

This paper presents a recently launched EU FP7 Cooperation project that addresses the needs of South-East European Transmission Systems Operators (TSOs) in their effort towards harmonization and integration of the region with the rest of the European power network. Project objectives are the creation of a monitoring and simulation toolbox that can be deployed and tested rapidly and cost-effectively, to assist in harmonizing regulatory and commercial frameworks in South East Europe, the development of systems and tools that will enable all players in the energy field to utilize innovative service arrangements to improve their efficiency and enhance their services to customers, to develop and implement methods and techniques for capacity calculation and allocation, to establish corrective procedures to ensure security of power transmission and grid connections, to ensure successful interfacing between new and old representation and modeling methods of power networks and the development of traditional and modern techniques to serve for experimentation and decision making.
