This paper examines the potential benefits smart and quickly controllable load can provide for transmission network congestion management if end-users give the transmission network operator or an independent aggregator service access to disconnect their devices in case of contingencies. The necessary amount of available quickly controllable load for the fulfilment of N-1 criteria is found for the case study of the Latvian power system. Of particular interest is the possibility to increase the maximum available transfer capacity between the Latvian and Estonian bidding areas by removing the N-1 provision from the calculation of the cross-border trading capacity if it can be supplied by the controllable load instead. For this purpose, a steady-state power flow model of the 330 kV transmission network and its interconnections with neighboring countries is used for simulations.
