Lack of general plan
Synchronization of Baltic electricity market with European electricity market ishindered due to lack of sufficient interconnections and clear rules on allocationof capacity, on
management of congestion and on balancing; BEMIP High level group is nowdiscussing this issue, but there is up to now no agreements made on further
steps; BEMIP planned activities include setting timeframe for de-synchonizationof Baltic network operation from Russia and Belarus as well as EU-level discussions with Russia on implementing internal electricity market rules also onRussian side;
Additional asynchronous cables connecting Baltic States with Poland, Swedenand Finland will be ready by the end of 2015 as planned in the BEMIP;
presentation by Gatis Abele in Baltic electricity infrastructure, synchronization withEuropean Power Network

North Sea Countries Offshore Grid Initiative (NSCOGI)
The report http://www.offshoregrid.eu indicates the need for:
wind f arm hubs: the joint connection of various f arms;
tee-in connections; the connection of various producers (say wind
f a
rms) toa
pre-existing or pla
nned tra
nsmissionline orinterconnector between countries;
hub-to-hub connection: This can be also interpreted as analternative to a direct interconnector between the countries inquestion.
The authors had proposed The Split Design starting by buildinglower-cost interconnectors by splitting wind f arm connections inorder to connect them to two shores. Integrated solutions andmeshed links would be applied.

Destabilization of the equilibrium
2800 MW through the Baltic Sea ?
Environmental decision in 6 months ?
The impact of poor governance and lack of political
clarity In post 2016 period Polish government cannot guarantee
real transfer of electricity in the amount of 3.000 MW-4.000 MW from east to west due to lack of real powerover the timeline of the investment processes for new
400 kvlines

FHS system and its future
The proposed Five Hub System [FHS] includingadditional lines to these hubs,700 MW NordBaltline, 500 MW PolLit line, and three new 700 MW
(in total 2100 MW) energetic backbone acrossBaltic Sea will probably allow synchronousconnection between Lithuania, Latvia and UCPTEso at this moment the disconnection from IPS/UPS
system can be performed. Kaliningrad area can join the system as well

Fast DC breakers
T he safe multi-terminal operation of such an offshore grid based onHVDC VSC technology requires fast DC breakers, which are still inthe development phase at end of 2011. So far, f ast DC breakersare not fully developed and multi-terminal operation is not possible.
In case of an offshore grid failure the complete grid has to be de-energised, the fault has to be isolated, and only then can theoffshore grid be loaded again. T his can also have serious impact onthe onshore grid stability due to frequency problems. Furthermore it should be highlighted that T SOs do not have any experience withmulti-terminal operation based on HVDC VSC technology .

Fast DC breakers
T he statement youre quoting is partially correct. Interruption of HVDC fault currents is an extremely challenging task and the topicof research for many manufacturers and universities world-wide. Inmy group were studying arcs for HVDC switchgear and try simulatethe short-circuits in VSC based HVDC networks. In the moment, nocommercially available HVDC circuit breaker exists that would fit for VSC networks. It is even so dramatic, that nobody is able to give therequirement specifications for these breakers.
In September 2011, on the Cigre-conference in Bologna, the first (at least to my knowledge) prototype of a fast (based onsemiconductors) HVDC circuit breaker was presented.

Conclusions
Lets write together an application for EU funds forsimilar project. Lets say clearly that this project is fortransit of energy to Central Europe from new plants
located in the east. Lets agree on principles without typical attempt to
block each other country
Lets construct each hub for multiple connection with
three or four land TSOs, lets invite the best technical firms for solving the necessary technical problems
