Problems of the Contemporary Electric Power System of Kosovo

Abstract

– The problems and challenges which Kosovo electrical power system (EPS) must deal with are discussed in this paper. The generation, transmission, and distribution in the current situation of the EPS of Kosovo are described. Numerous domestic and international research was examined, and the findings of those studies are reviewed. Focus has been placed on issues with Kosovo electric power system balancing, voltage stability, short circuits, carrying capacity of the transmission and distribution network, as well as the load and consumption forecasts over the next ten years. Consideration of actions or procedures that could be performed to improve the existing situation is also included. The analysis and recommendations are mostly related to studies like the Kosovo Energy Strategy and the development plan for the transmission and distribution networks of the country. The benefits of integrating renewable energy sources are introduced as means for improving the system stability and security of electricity supply. The transmission and distribution sys-tem's technical and commercial losses, as well as the steps that must be followed to reduce them, are reviewed and analyzed.
