Abstract

Offshore grids transmission lines of different technologies interconnect onshore power systems and connect offshore wind farms to shore. In an integrated offshore grid, some transmission lines realize both functions simultaneously. Integrated offshore grids may provide additional socio-economic benefits, including non-monetary ones such as innovation, industrial development, reduced environmental impacts and improved cooperation between countries. However, an integrated grid may entail additional costs to a non-integrated one, and several risks may lead to suboptimal offshore expansion planning. Nonetheless, research and cooperation between actors to develop such grids in Europe, Asia and North America is advancing. This chapter surveys the challenges to the expansion planning of offshore grid, structured in the building blocks of governance, planning, ownership, pricing and finance, and operation. Some solutions are drawn from current research and practical developments, especially in Europe where developments are most advanced, providing options which can be tailored to the characteristics of each offshore region.
