ENTSO-E: Frequency deviations in Continental Europe - discussions ongoing to find a solution
The Continental European (CE) Power System – which is a large electrical area stretching from Spain to Turkey and from Poland to Netherlands; encompassing 25 countries- is experiencing a system frequency deviation from the mean value of 50 Hz, since late 2017.
The power deviations are originating from the Serbian control area. The power deviations have led to a slight decrease in the electric frequency average.
ENTSO-E has been in discussion with EMS and KOSTT on possible ways forward to solve the CE Deviations issue. It is of extreme importance to solve this issue in short term, especially in the context of this winter period. These efforts are aimed at ending further time deviations and financial implications and ultimately to avoid a potential black-out in Europe.
