Re: Power Grid Europe

The European super grid is a future super grid that interconnect the various European countries and the regions around Europe's borders – including North Africa, Kazakhstan, and Turkey – with a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power grid

It predicts that a European super grid would:

• minimize the cost of power in all participating countries by allowing the entire region to share the most efficient power plants;

• pool load variability and power station irregularity, reducing the margin of inefficient spinning reserve and standby that have to be supplied;

• Allow for wider use of renewable energy, particularly wind energy.

• Allow wide sharing of the total European hydro power resource, which is about 6 weeks of full load European output.

Proposed Schemes

A number of other specific schemes are proposed to create super grids of varying extent within Europe. These include:

• Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan involving Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden and Norway

• Europagrid, proposed by Europagrid Limited to link various European countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Norway.

• North Sea Offshore Grid, an active proposal by the European Commission, first proposed in November 2008 as a building block towards a Europe-wide super grid[5] involving Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg.

• Low Grid, proposed by Greenpeace to link the countries of Central Europe, particularly Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France.

• High Grid, proposed by Greenpeace to link Europe and North Africa, emphasizing the installation of solar power in the South of Europe.

• ISLES, an active proposal, at feasibility stage as of September 2011, to link Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland with off-shore renewable energy generation.

• The All Islands Approach, based on cooperation between the countries of the British Isles.

• DESERTEC, a concept based upon the idea of building concentrating solar power (CSP) stations in North Africa and the Middle East and exporting the power to Europe by HVDC lines.

• Medgrid, a project planned in North Africa, which aims to promote and develop a Euro-Mediterranean electricity network that would provide North Africa & Europe with inexpensive renewable electricity, mostly solar. The goal is to install 20GW of generating capacity, with 5GW being devoted to exports for Europe
