ONLINE EVENT: Harmonization of HVDC systems

WP11 Workshop on best practices and potential for standardization.

The purpose of PROMOTioN WP11 is to support harmonization of the industry’s best practices, standards and grid codes. The idea is to ensure that the many findings from the technical work packages in PROMOTioN are utilised in standards and other harmonization documents.
The final WP11 workshop was held online in two parts 17/6 and 19/6. Standardization groups and grid operators working with HVDC systems were invited to discuss PROMOTioN findings with focus on potential for application of the findings in standards and grid codes. Each part of the workshop had more than 90 participants from industry, grid operation and academia.
