Offshore power transmission system 2030 in the North Sea

The developed concept of an offshore power transmission system 2030 supports the actual plans for electricity transmission in the German North Sea. It provides a contribution to an optimized development of offshore wind power integration into the German Power Transmission System and a Trans-European "Supergrid". The proposed solutions aim to increase the reliability of the German Power Transmission System and the flexibility in operation management of the offshore transmission system and to reduce investment cost in the amount of several million euros. Feasibility of the concept has been proven by appropriate load flow calculations.
