The
following is a short overview of some
of the main interconnected systems
- Union
for the Cooperation of Production and
Transmission of Electricity (UCPTE),
which includes the electric utilities
in the western European countries involving
about 14% of the world installed capacity
and covers an area of about 2.28 million
km2.
- The
interconnected Power System (IPS)/(CMEA),
including the power systems of the eastern
European countries, involving about
5% of the world installed capacity and
covers an area of about 1.25 million
km2.
- The
United Power System (UPS), Including
the power systems of the CIS countries
with about 15% of the world installed
capacity and covers an area of the about
11.25 million km2. The UPS
system is synchronously operated with
the (IPS)/(CMEA) system under normal
operating conditions.
- Nordic
Countries Interconnection (NORDEL),
which includes the electric the electric
utilities in Scandinavian countries.
involving 2.8% of the world installed
capacity and covers an area of about
1.23 million km2. NORDEL
system is connected with UCPTE and UPS
systems via d.c. links.
- The continent of North America includes
two main interconnected systems, each
of them operates synchronously. The
Eastern System including the east of
the United States and the central provinces
of Canada. The Western System including
west of the United States and western
provinces of Canada. Both systems involve
29% of the world installed capacity
and cover about 8.26 million km2
In this presentation, I shall illustrate
the existing and prospected power systems
in our region of the Middle East and how
it is developing into interconnected systems
which would be linked with each other and
with neighbouring systems in Africa, Asia,
and then to Europe.
