Applications of Long Distance HVDC-/AC Cable Transmission Systems for Grid Access to Remote Offshore Oil & Gas/Windpark Installations

摘要

Remote offshore power generation by offshore power plants and large scale offshore windpark installations are under discussion in some parts of the world. The generated power has to be transmitted to the onshore power grid and interconnected to the grid operator's facilities. This contribution introduces the latest technologies and applications for HVAC High Voltage Alternative Current and HVDC High Voltage Direct Current transmission technology and compares the different solutions from technical and economical aspects.
