Electric energy security in Iceland

M. Rivier A. Ramos L. Olmos

September 2015 - March 2017

Funding entity Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Landsvirkjun


This is a common project between MIT(Boston) and IIT for a consortium of electric companies and institutions in Iceland. The project models the functioning of the electric power system in Iceland in order to better understand how drought conditions impact the system, and the most efficient way to ensure a secure operation of the system in the target horizon, including the computation of the potential value of an interconnector between Iceland and the UK.
