For the purpose of the MSP Challenge, users can plan for converter stations to optimize the number or cables to transport the energy to shore. Users do not have to plan for the type of cable (AC or DC), but do need to consider the capacity of the cables. This puts no pressure on the ecosystem.

Description

Converter stations can be used as in intermediate step when bringing offshore energy to land. These stations can be the point where the cables from different offshore energy sources join and are converted from AC to DC to transport energy over longer distances. After conversion, more powerfull cables can bring the energy from the converter station to shore, where the energy will have to be converted again from DC to AC.

MSP Challenge

For the purpose of the MSP Challenge, users can plan for converter stations to optimize the number of cables to transport the energy to shore. The AC or DC types of cables are not taken into account, but the capacity (in watt) of the cables is.

Converter stations do not contribute to pressures on the ecosystem.
