Summary
The EU-GB HVDC-WISE project brings together TSOs and a range of power systems research groups from across industry and academia. Project goals include the development of a complete reliability-&-resilience-oriented grid expansion planning toolset, the identification of planning approaches that realise the benefits of deep integration of HVDC technology into the future EU-GB transmission systems, and finally, the identification of different grid architectures that can be readily deployed in grid development plans.
During this panel session, a brief outline will be provided of the goals of the project and some initial project outputs will be presented. A panel and audience interaction session will follow, where the challenges of planning for reliable and resilient hybrid AC/DC grids will be discussed.
