The National HVDC Centre works in partnership with the three onshore transmission owners and the system operator, who are all represented on the Centre’s Technical Advisory Board (TAB). We are funded such that we can work with these core clients on a variety of activities without any additional charges being applied. The HVDC Centre also has an obligation to support knowledge transfer and training to support GB industry in general with the acceleration and de-risking of HVDC technologies used to support the Net Zero transition. This is delivered by the Centre running training courses and knowledge dissemination activities like webinars.
This project is concerned with activities that the Centre is undertaking for all four core partners as a group. Such work may be initiated by the HVDC Centre itself or by one or more of the core partners proposing work they think would be of value to the whole group. This is expected to include training and knowledge dissemination activities that are to be delivered to the core partners only. It may also include early-stage discussions on replica hosting and other support that the Centre can provide to the partners’ HVDC projects.
Recent and current activities include:
- Technical report, workshop and tools with practical guidance on frequency scanning methods.
- Early engagement on HVDC project support, including replica hosting.
