As an attempt to fi ght global warming, many countries try to reduce CO2 emissions in the power sector by significantly increasing the proportion of renewable energies (RES-E). A highly intermeshed electricity transmission grid allows the achievement of this target cost-efficiently by enabling...

A strong and intermeshed electricity grid allows the cost-efficient achievement of renewable energy targets by enabling the use of favorable sites and by facilitating the balancing of stochastic infeed from renewables and electricity demand. However, construction of new lines is currently...
