Integral to the development of the meshed offshore grid is the ability to protect it in such a way to isolate faults while retaining as much transfer capability as possible. Recently, standalone HVDC protection relays or intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), essential for selective DC line protection, are under development by various industrial vendors and research institutes. To increase the technology readiness level, improve confidence in the maturity of the technology and show that it is in principle ready for real-world application, PROMOTioN will demonstrate the IED performance. To this end, fully hardware implemented IED prototypes will be tested against realistic HVDC grid models being run in a real-time simulation environment.
