Baltic Electric Cable Critical Infrastructure Network

In the paper the Baltic Electric Cable Critical Infrastructure Network (BECCIN) is defined and the main electric cable investments in the Baltic Sea Region, that are components of BECCIN, are described. Next the installations belonging to BECCIN are presented regarding their availability and disturbance outages. Functioning and disturbances in electric grid critical infrastructure network are analyzed in terms of climate-weather change impact. Finally, consequences of power blackouts and their impact on other critical infrastructures are discussed.
