Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the most demanding aspects of grid interconnection of marine energy installations while at the same time providing an updated overview and comparative analysis of the connection requirements of eight European Grid Codes. Therefore, the major issues related to marine energy installations will be summarized as well as the requirements of this type of generation. Besides, the extent to which current Grid Codes include marine energy technologies will be analysed jointly with the need of harmonization of different Grid Codes into a generalised European grid code. Apart from this, several future trends of marine energy technology and its interconnection will be provided for the final discussion.
