Marine Smart Grid
The main function of the electrical and communications infrastructure is to feed the electrical power generated on the test bed into the distribution network and to transmit data in real time to be processed and analysed in an on-shore control centre. The PLOCAN Smart Grid provides support for experimenting and testing new technologies that use marine energy resources to generate electricity and for connecting technologies for observation and increasing depths.
The infrastructure consists of a sea-to-shore electricity grid and data network installed in the Test Site of PLOCAN, which is an area of maritime-terrestrial public domain.
