Grid Integration of Offshore Wind Energy

Fachtagung für Experten aus dem Bereich Offshore Windenergie. Die Konferenz diskutiert die Herausforderungen der Verbindung und Einspeisung von Offshore Windenergie in das Gesamtnetz. Die Konferenz wird auf Englisch abgehalten.

The connection of offshore wind farms and the integration of energy from large-scale wind projects are posing numerous technical, economical and political challenges to this rapidly emerging industry. Fundamental questions and concepts regarding a secure future transmission system, which can incorporate large amounts of renewable energies whilst securing constant energy supply, are being discussed at numerous ends. Will Europe establish a ‘supergrid’ for a new, low-carbon era? Are the available and arising technologies capable of supporting this fundamental change in energy transmission systems?
