FARCROSS

Project Description

FARCROSS aims to connect major stakeholders of the energy value chain and demonstrate integrated hardware and software solutions that will facilitate the “unlocking” of the resources for the cross-border electricity flows and regional cooperation. The hardware and software solutions will enhance the exploitation/capacity/efficiency of transmission grid assets, will exploit the full potential of transmission corridors for increased electricity flows and will increase grid observability to ensure the safe integration of renewable energy sources into the grid, mitigate disturbances, and increase power system stability. IPTO participates in three large demonstrations: a) Modular Power Flow Control (MPFC) to maximize overall network utilization and manage operational constraints, b) DLR sensors that offer a real-time overhead line monitoring technique for transmission lines, c) PMUs installed in the Greek power system and gather measurements from different points of the transmission network to enhance the stability and safe operation of the whole system.
