Supporting Regional Integration
As a contractor in the USAID Energy Security and Regional Integration Project for Armenia, USEA works with the Energy Institute of Armenia to analyze the effects of renewable energy generation on Armenia’s transmission network. The project is also examining the benefits of integrating the Armenian network with those of its neighboring transmission system operators in the IPS/UPS synchronous zone. As part of the project, USEA organized a one week exchange visits to the United States on integrating wind and solar power technologies, including site visits and meetings with project developers, electricity suppliers and utility regulators. More recently USEA organized a one week exchange visit with the Serbian power sector to examine ENTSO-E methodologies for congestion management on international tie lines.
