Activities
Technical visit to COBRAcable at Endrup:
- CIGRE NGN had organized a first technical visit to the HVDC station in Endrup. The COBRAcable is a HVDC submarine power cable pair between Eemshaven (Netherlands) and Endrup (DK) and is jointly owned by Energinet.dk and TenneT. The Agenda entailed a presentation from the power system analysis department of Energinet.dk on topic of grid stability and planning, followed by a site visit of the 400 kV and 230 kV substation and the HVDC VSC converter. Unfortunately, the technical visit had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Joint webinar on Offshore Wind Energy:
- Our webinar about "Offshore Wind Energy" jointly organized with CIGRE NGN UK was held successfully with over 170 attendees. Our guest speakers, Lorenzo Zeni and Troels Stybe Sørensen from Ørstedgave us an overview about HVDC connected offshore wind farms and a perspective on the development of offshore wind in Ørsted respectively. Steven Blair from Synaptec
demonstrated integrated protection and condition monitoring for offshore wind using passive distributed sensing. Furthermore, Gen Lifrom Cardiff University School of Engineering presented the state-of-the-art of HVDC and offshore wind technologies in EU countries.
Joint webinar on Offshore Energy Hubs:
- Remember to register for the next CIGRE NGN webinar under to topic “Offshore Energy Hubs” at https://lnkd.in/gppQ8xX. The webinar is jointly organized with CIGRE NGN NL and scheduled for the 11th of November 2020 at 14:00 (CEST).
