PROMOTioN HVDC Technical Panel @ 2018 CIGRE Paris
Event Details
2018 CIGRE Paris session
Le Palais des Congrès de Paris
Room 242B

Several projects have been proceeding in order to implement future HVDC grids. A current one is the EU
funded research project named PROMOTioN (Progress on Meshed Offshore HVDC Transmission Networks), in
which 33 European stakeholders are participating.
One of the goals of the PROMOTioN is to demonstrate a practical HVDC protection with HVDC circuit breakers
considering technical feasibility and economic aspects. The performance of HVDC circuit breakers with different
technologies will be demonstrated in the project.
The proposed CIGRE-PROMOTioN technical panel will update and exchange the information on state-of-the-art
HVDC circuit breakers applied in various international projects and discuss the necessity of further actions in
CIGRE.
HVDC circuit breakers, recent development and demonstration
Preferential subjects of technical panel:
1) The requirements of HVDC circuit breakers in future meshed DC grids.
2) State-of-the-art of HVDC circuit breaker development, testing and field demonstration
The panel will take place during 2018 CIGRE Paris session.
Venue:
Le Palais des Congrès de Paris,
