Stakeholder Kick-Off Workshop

WEDNESDAY | 29 JUNE 2016 | 10:00–16:30
Stanhope Hotel,
Rue du Commerce 9, B-1000, Brussels, Belgium
Dear Sir or Madam,
Project partners of PROMOTioN (Progress on Meshed HVDC Offshore
Transmission Networks) invite you to its first public event on 29 June 2016 at the
Stanhope Hotel in Brussels.
The workshop will bring together industry experts, academia and policy makers
to discuss opportunities and benefits of a meshed offshore grid for Europe.
The PROMOTioN project is funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme and was launched in January 2016.
The project’s objective is to analyse the positive effects of a joint offshoreelectricity infrastructure based on meshed HVDC (high-voltage direct current)
grid technology. 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.
PROMOTioN project partners look forward to fruitful discussions with you and
your valuable input.
