TRANSFORMATIONAL POWER FLOW CONTROL TECHNOLOGY UNLOCKS CROSS-BORDER ELECTRICITY CAPACITY IN SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE
A transformational grid enhancing technology, SmartValve™, has been successfully commissioned in Greece, marking the second deployment of power flow control technology by IPTO. By intelligently controlling the flows of power across the network, this technology can unlock available cross border interconnection capacity between Greece and Bulgaria.The project is part of the FARCROSS Horizon 2020 project, which aims to increase cross border electricity flows across South-Eastern Europe and improve market coupling by leveraging innovative solutions.
