PROMOTioN

The PROMOTioN project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, was launched in January 2016.
The project’s objective is to analyse the positive effects of a joint offshore electricity infrastructure based on meshed HVDC (high-voltage direct current) grid technology.

T&D Europe is partner of the project consortium, supporting the execution of advisory activities and facilitating the discussion among companies. Three key technologies will be developed and demonstrated: diode rectifier offshore converters, multi-vendor HVDC grid protection system, and the full power testing of HVDC circuit breakers. Furthermore, a regulatory and financial framework will be developed for coordinated planning, construction and operation of integrated offshore infrastructures, including an offshore grid deployment roadmap for a future offshore grid system in Europe.
