Title:
European Offshore Wind and HVDC
Abstract:
Europe is committed to an ambitious energy transition, aiming to become the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Offshore wind energy and HVDC technology are pivotal to achieving this goal. In this presentation, the state-of-the-art of HVDC and offshore wind in Europe will be presented. Specifically, the driving forces, electrical design, and technical challenges of building the Danish Offshore Energy Islands will be discussed.
