The HVDC Centre is hosting a series of webinars to explore the role HVDC will play in meeting our net zero targets.
High voltage direct current (HVDC), is the key technology for connecting Great Britain’s electricity network to Europe, connecting offshore wind farms to our network, providing large boundary transfer capability (subsea) on the GB transmission system and connecting Scotland’s island groups.
HVDC will be the dominant new technology as we build towards meeting our net zero targets over the coming years, as it is key to unlocking the capacity to transmit large transfers of renewable power, along with the technical capabilities needed to transition to a net zero generation mix.
Each event will comprise of framing presentations, discussion with an expert panel, and open discussion (Q&As) from participants.
Please register for any of our events that are of interest (note: the webinars are designed to get increasingly technical through the series).
