Economic and reliable electric tie for energy export from South-Yakutia hydro power complex to Korea

摘要

The energy markets of the Northeast Asian countries and in particular South Korea are good prospects from the standpoint of export of energy resources from Russia. South Korea Electric Power System (EPS) has been rapidly growing. However, it has met difficulties in regard to construction of new power stations and especially hydro power plants (HPPs). Therefore it is mutually beneficial to build an electric tie to South Korea in order to use the power of South-Yakutia Hydro Power Complex that can be erected by 2015. The primary object of this Complex is Uchurskaya HPP (UHPP). In this paper, technical and economical analysis of the transmission system (TS) from UHPP to South Korea is presented.
