Stiftung Offshore Windenergie

The workshop at the Stanhope Hotel in Brussels will bring together industry experts, academia and policy makers to discuss opportunities and benefits of a meshed offshore grid for Europe. The PROMOTioN project is funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and was launched in January 2016.
The project’s objective is to analyse the positive effects of a joint offshore-electricity infrastructure based on meshed HVDC (high-voltage direct current) grid technology. Three key technologies will be developed and demonstrated: diode rectifier offshore converters, multi-vendor HVDC grid protection system, and the full power testing of HVDC circuit breakers. Furthermore, a regulatory and financial framework will be developed for coordinated planning, construction and operation of integrated offshore infrastructures.
The partners of the project look forward to discussing with you how to develop and successfully implement a meshed HVDC grid in Europe.
