Workshop on Offshore HVDC grids - present and future


Workshop
Offshore HVDC grids – present and future

October 17, 2011
at Statnett, Oslo, Norway

The scope of the workshop is to facilitate sharing of status and vision regarding the development of offshore grid in North Sea. Relevant stakeholders – TSOs, utilities and academia – are invited to share their experiences and visions with OffshoreDC project partners.

It is our objective to use this opportunity for establishing the state-of-the-art in DC grids development and – based on this – to develop consensus towards the governing technical principles for establishing future HVDC offshore grids. Reference cases, starting from market limitations, relevant for studying the feasibility of future offshore HVDC grids in North Europe will be defined.
