Technical, Economic and Social Feasibility Study for the HVDC Interconnection
Our scope included HVDC technology review & project cost estimation, exploring funding options, providing implementation schedule, policy and regulatory barriers and performing market and cost-benefit analysis followed by grid calculations, mindful of the risk and social and economic impact of the investment.
New international HVDC link between Salgareda (Italy) and Divaca/Bericevo (Slovenia) is expected to increase cross-border transmission capacity, power exchange flexibility, reliability, and safety of the electric power supply in both countries, allow integration of additional renewable energy sources and, finally, strengthen the regional electricity market.
