Making the case for HVDC vs AC electrical systems for Offshore Power & Distribution, with a focus on Project Lightning
About this Event

With the Energy Transition serving as a primary driver, the world’s complex energy landscape is changing at a rapid pace to support the acceleration towards Net Zero by 2050. The generation and effective utilization of clean energy sources, along with the decarbonization of operations, form a key element of this global transition. SUT are pleased to bring together a program of key industry players to outline the role that AC & DC electrical systems play in offshore operations, using Project Lightning as a case study for the use of a HVDC system in the MENA Region.
