Dogger Bank Wind Farm

Dogger Bank Wind Farm is the world's largest offshore wind farm, located more than 130km off the North East coast of England with a capacity of 3.6GW, capable of powering up to 6 million homes annually. The project is being constructed in three 1.2GW phases known as Dogger Bank A, B, and C in the UK's North Sea waters.

Dogger Bank Wind Farm has implemented high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system, marking the first-time use of HVDC technology on a UK wind farm, which allows power from the offshore wind farm to be efficiently transmitted to the UK's national grid.

IEEE Power and Energy Society

The IEEE Power and Energy Society (IEEE PES) is a nonprofit, member-driven organization focused on advancing scientific and engineering knowledge in the electric power and energy sector worldwide. As one of IEEE’s oldest and largest societies, PES develops industry standards, publishes leading research, organizes major conferences, and provides professional development opportunities for its more than 37,000 members.

In the field of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current), IEEE PES plays a key role by producing technical standards, supporting expert working groups, and publishing research and technical papers that advance and ensure the reliable integration of HVDC technologies within modern power systems.

EGL 1

EGL 1 is a £2.5 billion joint venture between SP Energy Networks and National Grid Electricity Transmission, developing and operating a high-capacity subsea electricity superhighway connecting southeast Scotland (Torness) to northeast England (Hawthorn Pit), with construction underway in 2025 and targeted completion by 2029.

EGL 1 is installing a 190–196 km high voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cable, complemented by converter stations at each end, to enable efficient long-distance transmission of renewable energy and to strengthen grid resilience between the two countries.

Transelectrica

Transelectrica is Romania’s Transmission System Operator (TSO), responsible for the management, operation, and development of the national electricity transmission grid and for ensuring the reliable and secure operation of the Romanian power system. It plays a central role in the Romanian electricity market, facilitating electricity exchanges both within the country and with Central and Eastern European neighbors as a member of ENTSO-E, and operates as a publicly traded company with a majority state ownership.

Transelectrica’s activities in HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) are limited, as the company primarily manages and operates AC transmission networks and there is currently no significant HVDC infrastructure in operation within Romania’s national grid.
