Nexans – RHODÉ Project: pioneering floating HVDC solutions

The RHODÉ consortium launches a major R&D project for a floating HVDC electrical connection for deep-water offshore wind farms

• Chantiers de l’Atlantique, France Energies Marines, Fondation OPEN‑C, GE Vernova, Nexans, RTE and SuperGrid Institute are combining their expertise to prepare future high‑power, floating, high‑voltage direct current (HVDC) grid connections. 
• The RHODÉ project aims to develop and test the key technological building blocks (transformer, gas-insulated substation, offshore AC/DC converter station, dynamic HVDC cable) required for a first high-power floating connection.
