types of ancillary services are discussed. New European regulations encourage free trading of theses
services on internal and international markets. The power grid of Poland (a part of the European

Russia. This make a good possibility for energy and grid ancillary services transfer from East to West.
Besides that, hardware, technical abilities, operation strategy, economy, cost and prices are also
