This report presents the main activity of Work Package 6 (WP6) in the TradeWind project. The main aim of the work package is to develop relevant proposals for offshore and onshore grid reinforcements based on an evaluation of the effect on the power flows. The analyses presented in this report are based on the developed model of the European power system and the collected TradeWind data on load, generation and grids (WP3). The simulations are carried out using the Power System Simulation Tool (PSST) which runs an optimal power flow problem for a given power system model for each hour of a year. The optimal power flow minimises the total generation cost, using a simplified DC power flow representation and with the assumption of a perfect market.
