DCDYNAMIC

Cable technology for sustainable European electricity grid

DCDYNAMIC in a nutshell

With the aim of supporting the EU’s goal of climate neutrality by 2050, the DCDYNAMIC project intends to develop a high-voltage dynamic export cable, which is expected to help connect floating offshore wind farms to the grid. The consortium will focus on testing the cable’s reliability, improving sustainability, and reducing risks for large-scale use.

“The knowledge gained from this project could revolutionise the design and use of HVDC cables and set a new standard for this critical technology. By 2050, it could play a key role in ensuring that about 17% of Europe’s electricity comes from offshore wind, contributing to a safer, more sustainable, and more affordable energy network.”
