Abstract
Smart transmission seems to become the next instance of the smart grid vision. However, most of the innovative tech-no-logies, which have been foreseen for a smart distribution grid, are not totally new into the transmission system operation environment. If it comes to large scale wind power integration in the north of Europe, as well as bulk solar power production in south, smart transmission becomes integral part of an entirely new power system where new controllable device will operate to make transmission smarter. In the last consequence a new network layer will be built which is referred to as an overlay grid in Europe.
