North Sea Wind Power Hub concept

North Sea Wind Power Hub (NSWPH) is a consortium of Tennet, Energinet and Gasunie to develop required infrastructure in the North Sea for the integration of large-scale offshore wind energy from the North Sea into the northern European power systems. The NSWPH approach is based on “hub-andspoke” concept where the power generated from multiple wind farms are collected at a power hub and then transmitted to multiple receiving power systems utilizing HVDC. Compared to the traditional approach, the hub-and-spoke approach reduces the cost of integration and provides additional flexibility in power trade among the participating networks.
