Session description With installed capacity expected to grow substantially over the decades to come, the debate over how this capacity should be connected to the existing grid is intensifying. This session will consider examples of techno-economic studies of offshore wind connection, focusing on the North Sea. Key questions for discussion will include: • Are simple ("radial") connections likely to prevail as the dominant pattern, or could more integrated solutions gain ground over time? • To what extent do considerations other than techno-economic merits (e.g. planning, environment, procedural) alter the answer to the first question? • How can regulatory frameworks and TSOs promote optimal connection solutions, and what more could be done at EU level in this respect? A related aspect is the potential synergies between interconnectors and wind farm connections which is also the subject of a dedicated session (BG4). |
