Development of electric power cooperation in Northeast Asia

Abstract

The development of interstate electric ties ISETs and grids (ISGs) is a global process; recently, countries of Northeast Asia (NEA) that were previously very poorly connected have started to study the possibility of constructing ISETs and ISGs. This paper describes the current state of the interstate transmissions in the NEA region, considering the prospective projects of ISETs in NEA. The results of the system optimization study on prospective NEA ISGs are provided. The proposals on the development of electric power cooperation in NEA are formulated.
