ENTSO-E, the European association of electricity transmission system operators, has announced the extension of the third phase of the trial synchronous operation of the Turkish power system with Continental Europe by one year (until autumn 2013).
The Turkish grid was synchronised to interconnected grid of continental Europe in September 2010, with parallel operation achieved by two 400 kV lines to the Bulgarian system and by one 400 kV line to the Greek system. This trial parallel operation period is organized in three phases, the first two of which have been completed. They consist of a stabilisation period without electricity exchange, followed by physical, non-commercial electricity exchanges. The third phase, which will be extended until September 2013, consists of limited capacity allocation for commercial electricity exchanges between Turkey and ENTSO-E’s Continental Europe Synchronous Area.
