Northeast Asia Power Interconnection Studies; Trends and Prospects in South Korea

In this paper, we present recent representative studies about technical and economical considerations for the power system interconnection in Northeast Asia (NEA). These activities on interconnection between countries or areas in a NEA have been considered and presented from many sides including considering political and economical situations. In South Korea, recent studies of power system interconnection are trending toward specific technical and economical considerations for each of several scenarios. We include reliability studies and power flow studies on technical sides. Also, we introduce an economic feasibility study.
