Though China is a large area, the country and its neighbours can benefit in economic, technical and political terms from a larger integration of power systems into an Asian Supergrid. This is analogous to the integration of the EU-MENA power systems which could bring large economic benefits and a political stabilisation of the region.
We develop the analytical basis for such analysis with the adaptation of the EU-MENA Enertile model (www.enertile.eu) to the perspective of an Asian Supergrid, including next to China also neighboring countries such as Korea or Japan.
We carry out, in close link with national Chinese level, the analysis of scenarios for RES integration at supra-national level.
