Abstract

In this paper, technical challenges for realizing offshore multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) transmission system in Europe is evaluated. An offshore MTDC topology is projected by interconnecting point-to-point HVDC links with the same voltage level and technology found in south-eastern part of North Sea. Availability analysis is done to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed offshore MTDC topology. As compared to point-to-point (PtP) HVDC link, MTDC operation gives a more secure and reliable system. This paper shows that the proposed MTDC topology can operate 98.36% of the time.
