Study of the defence plan for the Ivorian electricity network

RTE international produced a Defence Plan for the electricity network in the Ivory Coast, taking into account the operating constraints on the network over the 2020-2022 period and the assessment of its stability.

Services provided

• Static study on the constraints of the Ivorian network
• Analysis of the voltage profil
• Analysis of the loading of network equipment (lines, transformers…)
• Transient stability study to analyse voltage and frequency changes
• Analysis in case of loss of some of the largest generating units and interconnections
• Analysis of the risks of frequency collapse and loss of synchronism
• Proposal of a defence plan to improve network security
• Proposal of a methodology for load shedding with different criteria (voltage, transit, frequency)
• Proposal of thresholds for load shedding
