North-East Asia interconnection scenario map, and power reserve strategy in South Korea

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the reserve power for the future power shortages faced by the metropolitan areas of the Korean Peninsula and by the southeastern area of the South Korea in North-East Asia. The assumed scenarios will be proposed in the cases of without or with connection to the Sinpo nuclear power plant which is to be constructed with 2,000MW capacity in the future. In this connection, the types of a power transmission for interconnection consist of the 765kV HVAC and the HVDC. In this paper, the various scenarios for providing the interconnection of the power systems among Far-East Russia, North-East China, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan are presented, and the resulting interconnected power systems are simulated by means of a power flow analysis performed with the PSS/E tool. The power flow map is drawn from the data simulated and the comparative study is done.
