Belarus, Russia and Ukraine signed a technical agreement on the provision of parallel operation of power systems of the three countries. The agreement was signed by FSK EES, SO UPS, Belenergo, ODU, Ukrenergo.

This agreement is the basic document, governing the interaction of system operators and power companies, while ensuring parallel work of power systems in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The agreement defines responsibility and interaction between the parties, including the harmonization of actions to plan and ensure the implementation of agreed hour schedules of power interchange balance, control of power, while maintaining frequency and operation of interstate power lines, RIA Novosti informs.

«Under the signed agreement, SO UPS in cooperation with ODU and Ukrenergo realizes twenty-four-hour dispatching management of the parallel operation of power systems», reads the statement, spread on July 14. «Among the main responsibilities there are maintenance of AC frequency within acceptable values, regulation of power interchange and power of national energy systems, coordinated planning of the parallel operation of power systems, coordination of actions to prevent and eliminate process failures».

In addition, the document also stipulates the need to create conditions for mutual exchange of technological information, necessary for the organization and implementation of the parallel operation of power systems of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, as well as the obligation of mutual informing about planned activity for technical upgrading and reconstruction of energy facilities, which affect the parallel operation of power systems.
 
As noted in the statement, the need to work out technical agreement was caused by the requirement to improve regulatory framework, governing the conditions of the parallel operation of UPS of Russia, UES of Ukraine and UES of Belarus.

«In particular, acted regulatory framework does not fully take into account the work of Russia’s UPS under conditions of wholesale market of electricity and power, as well as the consequent need to hour planning and accounting of power interchanges. In addition, over the past decade, the working regime of power systems has become more complex due to the increasing consumption of power and development of electric power systems of all the three countries, what also led to the need to revise the regulatory framework», reads the report.
