Title: Important Factors Facing the Development of Offshore Wind and HVDC Transmission Systems
Abstract: Offshore wind and associated HVDC transmission systems will play a critical role in grid decarbonization between 2030 and 2040. However, a number of barriers to the use of HVDC transmission systems (offshore and onshore) still need to be resolved to unlock the full potential of offshore wind and to enable greater interregional transmission between regional transmission operators onshore. This presentation will discuss current barriers facing HVDC transmission systems and the work needed to overcome these barriers between now and 2030.
