Web based electricity flow simulator–Kosovo case

Abstract

In this paper is presented a web based electricity flow simulator for the Kosovo electricity demand. The input data i.e. electricity generation capacities, demand and consume are taken from the document “Kosovo Energy Strategy 2009-2018” compiled by Ministry of Energy of Kosovo and approved by the Kosovo Assembly. The web tool enables different settings for national electricity grid, divided in seven electricity regions, five interconnection lines and using domestic generation capacities, using existing power plants and those planed to be built until 2018. It enables different scenarios, such as increasing/decreasing electricity demand in different regions, energy import/export and increasing/decreasing generation capacities. This web application is developed using latest ASP.NET platform, C# as programming language and Microsoft SQL as database server. It shall server as unique tool for governmental decision makers and to contribute inputs to future policy and management decision-making in the energy sector.
