Abstract

The European Union is promoting cross-border electricity interconnection projects to achieve energy objectives, reduce the current fragmented European market, and eradicate the isolation of the most disadvantaged areas. However, selecting these projects is a complex task because there are multiple objectives, criteria, participants and alternatives involved. This paper aims to develop a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method for appropriately assessing and prioritizing cross-border electricity interconnection projects considering technical, economic, environmental and social criteria. Additionally, this work analyzes interconnection effects on the resilience of interconnected power systems. To verify its validity, this method is applied to prioritize new Spain-France interconnection infrastructure projects. From the results obtained, the technical and environmental criteria have proven to be the most important, since cross-border electricity interconnection projects are aimed at better market-coupling, less congestion and higher reliability while minimizing environmental impacts. In short, the proposed methodology provides a comprehensive view of the impact of these projects.

使用 MCDA 方法评估跨境电力联网项目

欧盟正在推动跨境电力互联项目，以实现能源目标，减少目前分散的欧洲市场，并消除最落后地区的孤立状态。然而，选择这些项目是一项复杂的任务，因为其中涉及多个目标、标准、参与者和备选方案。本文旨在开发一种多标准决策分析（MCDA）方法，用于考虑技术、经济、环境和社会标准，对跨境电力互联项目进行适当评估和优先排序。此外，本文还分析了互联对互联电力系统恢复能力的影响。为了验证该方法的有效性，我们将其应用于西班牙-法国新的互联基础设施项目的优先排序。从获得的结果来看，技术和环境标准被证明是最重要的，因为跨境电力互联项目的目的是更好地耦合市场、减少拥堵和提高可靠性，同时最大限度地减少对环境的影响。总之，所提出的方法能够全面反映这些项目的影响。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (IJCIP) was launched in 2008, with the primary aim of publishing scholarly papers of the highest quality in all areas of critical infrastructure protection. Of particular interest are articles that weave science, technology, law and policy to craft sophisticated yet practical solutions for securing assets in the various critical infrastructure sectors. These critical infrastructure sectors include: information technology, telecommunications, energy, banking and finance, transportation systems, chemicals, critical manufacturing, agriculture and food, defense industrial base, public health and health care, national monuments and icons, drinking water and water treatment systems, commercial facilities, dams, emergency services, nuclear reactors, materials and waste, postal and shipping, and government facilities. Protecting and ensuring the continuity of operation of critical infrastructure assets are vital to national security, public health and safety, economic vitality, and societal wellbeing. The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to: 1. Analysis of security challenges that are unique or common to the various infrastructure sectors. 2. Identification of core security principles and techniques that can be applied to critical infrastructure protection. 3. Elucidation of the dependencies and interdependencies existing between infrastructure sectors and techniques for mitigating the devastating effects of cascading failures. 4. Creation of sophisticated, yet practical, solutions, for critical infrastructure protection that involve mathematical, scientific and engineering techniques, economic and social science methods, and/or legal and public policy constructs.
