Project overview
The project comprised interdisciplinary tasks that would contribute to solve principal power transmission, market and regulatory challenges for a gradual development of offshore grids in the North Sea.
A key point for the build-up of offshore power transmission was to avoid sub-optimal solutions consisting of only non-flexible point-to-point connections. A successful development of a North Sea offshore grid, which the project aimed to contribute to, led to better dispatch of hydro power, more MW of offshore wind and more efficient cross-border power exchange.
The KMB project work was managed and carried out by SINTEF Energy Research. There was a close coordination with project partners and related activities at SINTEF Energy Research, and the project also draw on an extensive international network.
