Abstract: The expected increase of intermittent electricity production imposed by renewable energy sources in Northern Europe poses rising challenges to the operation of the power system. The Nordic hydro based power system, particularly the Norwegian, is in a favourable position to provide necessary production flexibility to the Continental European power system. For this provision sufficient transfer capacity is required.
