The development of transnational offshore grids
will play a major part in the grid integration of large-scale
offshore wind power. Up to now, such an infrastructure has
never been built and, when finished, it will probably consist of a
combination of different transmission technologies. Therefore,
the effects of these grids on the power system must be studied
thoroughly
The North Sea transnational grid research project intends to
study technical and economic aspects regarding the development
of an electrical network in the North Sea. It aims to provide
a comprehensive technical reference for policy makers in
the Netherlands.
This paper describes the objectives of the North Sea transnational
grid research project and the approaches to be used.
Moreover, an overview of other ongoing or recently finished
research projects regarding transnational offshore grids in
Europe will be provided. These are compared to the North Sea
transnational grid project by assessing where the technicaleconomic
focus lies, the time horizons and methods used.@en
