To do so, 5 ambitious specific objectives are pursued:

• Develop a complete reliability-&-resilience-oriented planning toolset (metrics, methodology, tools) with appropriate representation of future HVDC-based grid architecture concepts to fulfil TSOs’ resilience and reliability needs.
• Propose and compare on generic cases, different HVDC-based grid architecture concepts fulfilling functional requirements relative to TSO’s resilience needs for the widespread AC/DC system.
• Validate resilience-oriented planning toolset and the HVDC-based grid architecture concepts on three realistic use cases.
• Identify, assess, and model emerging technologies for HVDC-based grid architecture concepts needed for the deployment of widespread AC/DC transmission grids.
• Prepare for the adoption and deployment of the proposed solutions by the industry.

HVDC-WISE is a multidisciplinary project engaging 14 partners from 11 countries covering the academic (5 partners), TSOs (4) and industrial worlds (5).

The project is coordinated by SuperGrid Institute, French institute in the field of technologies and services for the “supergrid”.
