2Energy in Central Eastern Europe
Change creates innovation
Low economic growth
Return to protectionism
High economic growth gt5
Global open society
Consequently
Increased need for energy
3Energy in Central Eastern Europe
Lack of primary Energy stimulates innovation and
investments in
- Energy Supply
- Utilization of Energy
Supply of electrical energy becomes more
important due to
- Energy Efficiency
- IT Infrastructure
4Energy in Central Eastern Europe
- Stern-Report 30. October 2006
- Costs for climate stabilization are considerably
high - Consequences of climate change can still be
avoided - Delays will be much more expensive
- Climate protection objectives in Germany
- 40 reduction of CO2 emissions till 2020
- Increasing the share of renewable energy in
electricity production from 13 today up to 30
until 2030
Sir Nicholas Stern, Head of the
Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change
5Energy in Central Eastern Europe
- Increase of electricity resources from
- Hydropower, wind power, solar energy
- Primary energy resource is free of charge
- Sources are normally far from consumers
- Availability depends on meteorological conditions
6Energy in Central Eastern Europe
- Malfunction on November 4th, 2006
- The growing market activities and the fast and
successful development of regional intermittent
energy generation with low predictability (wind
power) led to significant increase of
cross-continental power flows. Even though the
grid was originally developed for mutual
assistance, it has now become the platform for
shifting ever increasing power volumes across the
continent. - UCTE, 30. January 2007

Grid operation will become much more challenging!
8Energy in Central Eastern Europe
- Future Transmission Networks
- Increasing renewable electricity requires
- infrastructure adaption
- Power highways, European Super Network
- HVDC Systems
- Underground Cable
- Flexible Alternating Current Systems (FACTS)
9Energy in Central Eastern Europe

- Windpark-ClustersBorkum 2
- HVDC Light
- Phase 1 400 MW
- 128 km seacable
- 75 km underground cable to Diele Substation
The first largest HVDC wind park connection in
the world!

- A Dutch proverb says If the wind of change is
blowing, one builds walls, while the others build
windmills. - Its been too long since walls are built, its
now time for windmills to be built. - Dr. Werner Brinker, VDEW-President,VDEW-Congress
