DESCRIPTION:The Norwegian chapter of the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES
 ) and the Norwegian Association for Energy Economics (NAEE) invite you to 
 the webinar\n\nNorthconnect – Technical and socioeconomic aspects\n\nThu
 rsday\, May 7th 2020\, 12:00-15:00\n\nWebinar on Blackboard Collaborate\n\
 nThe existing HVDC capacity from the Norwegian system is 1 700 MW\, and it
  will increase to 4 500 MW when the projects NordLink (1 400 MW link to Ge
 rmany) and North Sea Link (1400MW link to England) are commissioned by Sta
 tnett in 2020 / 2021. Also\, NorthConnect\, a joint venture between Lyse\,
  Agder Energi\, Hafslund E-Co and Vattenfall\, has applied for licenses to
  construct and operate a 1 400 MW HVDC connection between Sima in Hardange
 r\, Norway and Peterhead in Aberdeenshire\, Scotland.\n\nWithin Norway\, t
 here has been a lot of discussions about the latter. On the economical sid
 e\, a 2019 analysis by NVE indicates that NorthConnect would be economical
 ly viable but may increase energy prices and grid tariffs. On the technica
 l side\, another 4200MW of HVDC capacity would require up to 8400MW of add
 itional regulating power in a worst-case scenario. How this impacts the el
 ectrical power system security? On the environmental side\, what is the im
 pact on renewable power development? Not least\, non-TSO ownership is also
  a part of the discussion.\n\nThis webinar will shed light over these topi
 cs and give you updated information directly from the source.\n\nCo-sponso
 red by: NAEE\n\nAgenda: \n12:00 Welcome\nErick Alves\, IEEE PES / Jørgen 
 Bjørndalen\, NAEE\n\n12:05 Northconnect\, technical aspects including spe
 cial design issues\nJohn Gleadow\, Northconnect\nThe technical aspects of 
 Northconnect’s 1400 MW HVDC system will be presented together with some 
 special design issues: minimization of converter and substation footprint 
 on the Scottish side\; dynamic overload capability and possible multi term
 inal options including an evaluation of a North Sea HVDC hub for electrifi
 cation of oil and gas installations.\n\n12:45 NorthConnect – NVE’s ove
 rall assessment\nEllen Skaansar\, NVE\nNVE was commissioned by the Ministr
 y of Petroleum and Energy to give an overall assessment of NorthConnect. T
 his presentation will give an overview of NVE’s report on the topic with
  emphasis on market effects.\n\n13:25 Break\n\n13:35 HVDC connections – 
 challenges for system operation\nTom Tellefsen\, Statnett\nToday the Norwe
 gian power system has 1700 MW of HVDC link capacity to Denmark and the Net
 herlands. 2800 MW HVDC capacity to Germany and England are under construct
 ion\, resulting in a total HVDC capacity of ±4 500 MW. What are the opera
 tional challenges and how to handle them?\n\n14:10 Integration via interco
 nnectors: Climate effects\nTorjus Bolkesjø\, NMBU\nGeneral benefits relat
 ed to integration of electricity markets and technologies\; financial and 
 climate impacts. In his presentation\, he will provide a dynamic perspecti
 ve.\n\n14:55 Wrap-up\n\nOnline\, Sor-Trondelag\, Norway
