Coordination between offshore transmission assets - A third way approach

Abstract

Offshore wind farms have been seen for several years as key for achieving the European targets on the use of renewable energies. The majority of offshore wind parks has been built without considering possible coordination between them, but as their number increases so does the benefits of coordination between assets.
This paper analyses the Ofgem’s document ”Consultation on a proposed framework to enable coordination of offshore transmission” and summarises its proposals. The developer-lead approach used in UK is compared with the TSO-lead approach used in Denmark, regarding potential coordination between offshore wind farms of different developers.
The paper proposes a third approach, mixing the developer-lead and TSO-lead approaches. The main benefits and challenges of the proposed approach are presented, as well as future work.
