NSON-DK

The NSON-DK project is the Danish part of a North Sea Offshore Network (NSON) project umbrella with research participants from UK, Germany, Norway and Netherlands. The purpose is to study the impact of future offshore wind power and offshore electricity grid on the operation and security of supply of the Danish power system. 
The Danish project partners are the Department of Wind Energy (lead) and the Department of Management Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark, and the consultant EA Energy Analyses.
The project will deal with the following research questions: 
How will the offshore wind power development affect the variability and uncertainty of variable renewable generation? 
How will this increased variability and uncertainty influence the balancing of production and consumption in the Danish power system? 
How will the offshore wind power and offshore grid development influence the electricity markets in the future?
How will the offshore grid development influence the security of supply in the Danish power system?
Which polity instruments should be applied to support an effective and cost-efficient offshore development?
