ENTSOG South-North Corridor GRIP 2017

South-North Corridor GRIP 2017 |

7.1 Introduction

Also for this third version of the South-North Corridor

GRIP a specific simulation exercise has been performed

and numerous cases have been simulated using the

ENTSOG Network Modelling tool (NeMo)

A network modelling section has been introduced as from the second edition of the

report following a specific ACER indication. The cases considered represent

variations on scenarios considered in ENTSOG TYNDP 2017. Nevertheless, no

additional or updated information with regard to demand and project data has been

used as input to the NeMo tool, since the 3

GRIP edition uses the same database

as built for ENTSOG TYNDP 2017.

The network assessment using the NeMo tool is always performed at a European-

wide scale but for demand variations, considered project clusters, disruption

scenarios and selected output, closer attention is given to the South-North Corridor

specificities.

7.2 Modelled Cases

In total, 240 cases have been processed through the

NeMo tool for this specific 3

South-North Corridor

GRIP edition. The case specificities are a result of varia-

tions related to:

the considered years to be simulated

infrastructure clusters

demand scenarios and profiles throughout Europe

supply situations (including possible disruptions and different supply sources

price configurations)

7.2.1 YEARS

For the purpose of this SNC GRIP, the years 2017, 2020 and 2030 were taken into

account, with the latter two being the most relevant ones with regard to the foreseen

commissioning dates of the main projects in the SNC Region (2017 has been kept

for comparison purposes with the already existing infrastructure).
