“…In comparison, the first 1100 kV CSC HVDC line (currently under construction in China) will be able to transmit up to 12 GW, half the average power use of Spain (The Economist, 2017). Although immediate technical implementation of supergrid is not yet possible, most of the problems are not fundamental and can be solved given sufficient time (Van Hertem et al, 2010).…”

“…An alternative vision to smart grid is the supergrid, which focuses on connecting remote RES to the grid and bridging power systems over a large geographic region through long-distance HVDC cables that overlay the existing grid (Van Hertem, Ghandhari, & Delimar, 2010). The supergrid aims at reducing the variability of RES by aggregating a diverse portfolio and making remote RES available to more electricity users, by expanding and merging existing transmission capacity (Blarke & Jenkins, 2013).…”

“…It has been long acknowledged that this offshore grid could be considered as a precursor to a European SuperGrid. It has also been proposed that this SuperGrid could connect the offshore wind generation, from the North Sea, to the potential solar generation in southern Europe, the geothermal generation in Iceland, and the hydro generation in Norway [2]. It has been well established that an offshore grid will be implemented using HVDC transmission, as it is more efficient and costeffective than HVAC when using submarine cables.…”

“…With a large number of VSC converter stations far offshore from each country, it has been suggested that connecting the countries to each other using an HVDC grid would be beneficial for all [4]. The wind farms proposed are rated in the gigawatts and, with the addition of country to country transfers, the grid is likely to be transferring power in the tens of gigawatts.…”
