Europe wants to build around 450 GW of offshore wind by 2050. The EU alone wants to have 300 GW by then. In the future offshore wind farms will not only transmit electricity directly to shore.

They will also serve as interconnectors between countries and transmit electricity between different wind farms.

Europe is laying the groundwork for interconnected hybrid offshore wind farms. Offshore electricity transmission is a key challenge in 2 / 3 getting there.

The most efficient way of transporting electricity from offshore wind farms is via multi-terminal High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) grids.

The aim of the HVDC Grid Controller is to monitor and coordinate an offshore HVDC Grid.

It is connected on one side to all HVDC devices provided by several vendors and on the other side with multi-TSO SCADA, using standard communication protocols. Continuous and sequential functions are implemented to monitor and control the stability of the HDVC Grid. Controls actions are also performed

Description of the procurement:

SuperGrid want to pre-select tenderers to submit them a Call for Tender to develop the High Voltage Direct Current Grid Controller. The expected deliveries are:

- Specification and development of a software solution to perform real time functions, communicate with multivendors controllers through a standard protocol (to be defined), allow the operator monitoring and controlling the HVDC System using an HMI.

- Design and manufacturing of several cubicles,

- Delivery of all cubicles with software to several clients and perform commissioning tests and operator trainings.
