Offshore Power Transmission System 2030 in the North Sea
Abstract
The concept envisages the construction of an Offshore Power Transmission System for 70 future wind farms in the North Sea. With a total installed power of approximately 43 GW, this provides a contribution to an optimized development of offshore wind power integration into the German Power Transmission System and into the Trans-European Power Transmission System “Super Grid”. The proposed solutions aim to increase the reliability of the Offshore-Power Transmission System and the flexibility of its operation management. They also reduce investment cost in the amount of several billion Euros. The technical feasibility of the concept has been proven by appropriate load flow calculations.
