Interregional Transmission Operational Coordination

Abstract

This presentation will discuss challenges and opportunities on interregional coordination in the areas of interchange transaction, congestion management, reserve sharing and deliverability across multi-stage operational processes. It will then provide an overview of the interregional transmission operational coordination (IRTOC) project that currently focuses on congestion management, including Inter-regional transmission coordination in real time operations and operational planning, HVDC optimization (intra- and interregional), ancillary service deliverability (intra- and interregional). In addition, it will discuss the Sienna-Decomposition tool development to systematically study interregional coordination methods.
