The integration of renewable energy sources requires grid expansion throughout Europe. Due to the highly interconnected system, line expansions influence the overall power flow, so the system must be considered entirely to ensure optimal decisions. As a full pan-European grid simulation is too complex, the system is split into regional cases, considering coherent cross-border conditions between them. These cross-border conditions are obtained, by running a pan-European simulation, including the spatial distribution of renewable energy sources as well as loads, the subsequent time series generation, and the market simulation. The spatial distribution takes into account the geographies of the different countries.
