The aim of the project is to develop and demonstrate three technologies: diode-rectifier offshore converters, multi-vendor high-voltage direct current [HVDC] grid protection systems, and the full-power testing of HVDC circuit breakers.

In addition, a regulatory and financial framework will be developed for the co-ordinated planning, construction and operation of integrated offshore infrastructures. This framework will include a grid deployment roadmap for Europe’s future offshore grid system.
