HVDC Workshop EC
The Directorate General for Energy of the European Commission is organising a workshop on HVDC on February 4th, 2020 in Brussels. The title of the workshop is: “Horizon 2050 power system: role of HVDC technologies in a highly decentralised RES generation”.
The aim of the workshop is:
1. To follow-up on the DC – AC/DC hybrid grid workshop of 17.05.2018, https://ec.europa.eu/energy/sites/ener/files/documents/180830_ac-dc-hybrid_grids_rt_outcome_for_publication.pdf
consisting on addressing separately and systematically the different voltage levels, starting with this workshop on High Voltage;
2. Take stock of the actual development and the potentialities of applying further DC technologies in the actual electricity grid;
3. Finding the means to make the DC as easy as AC;
4. Get insights for potential application of little or unexplored technologies in HVDC;
5. Analysis and identification of the barriers (technical, regulatory, standardisation) for further development;
6. Collect input/recommendations for further actions.
The agenda is organised in two parts with two panels:
Part I - Overview of AC & DC technologies and the EU grid: state of play
Panel session I - European perspective: making the DC as easy as AC
Part II - New DC systems and technologies
Panel session II - AC/DC Hybrid grid: barriers and way forward
