Unfortunately, resources like hydro, solar and wind are often distributed unevenly not only temporally but also geographically and such characteristics bring new challenges. A cross-border energy system through transmission lines is regarded as one of the low-hanging fruits to address the challenges, especially to North-western Europe where power markets are already partially integrated. Countries in this region have distinct energy system profiles and connecting them with transmission lines can lead to…
