The Offshore Wind Energy sites are currently being promoted in large area sites of hundreds of MWs and farshore, normally near 100 km from shore or even more. The vast amount of energy to be transmitted up to the grid connection point, and the length of the AC cables to evacuate the energy causes that some connections are not technically feasible with the current AC links. This is due to the high losses and the amount of reactive power generated by the cables, which do not allow the transmission of the active power produced by the turbines.

For such a kind of developments, the HVDC technology is sometimes the only technically feasible solution for connecting the Offshore Windfarm to the grid.

In this webinar, it will be exposed the technical rationale of the use of HVDC in Offshore Windfarms, and it will be described the different options to be used, from the technical and economical point of view. Some examples of state-of-art solutions and future innovative developments in this field will be also presented.
