Start Date:
Q4,2021
Technical Challenge Area:
Electrical Power Systems
Completion Date:
N/A (Currently Underway)
Synopsis:
This project will develop transmission expansion planning (TEP) models that support the exploration of topologies for a future integrated onshore/offshore electricity grid.
Target Outcomes:
1
the team will develop topologies that integrate the full capacity of existing BOEM lease and call areas at three scales: 30 GW, 85 GW, and 200 GW.
