Offshore Wind Grid Connection and HVDC Connection

Description

A special course at DTU Wind Energy with focus on offshore wind grid connection and HVDC transmission. 

The course was first offered to 14 students as a special course in 2019, with the intention of transforming it to a regular DTU course in 2021. 

For 2020, it was offered again as a special course (min. 5 students), in the autumn semester of DTU.
