The electrical power system is changing and we face new challenges.

The 19th International Conference on AC and DC Power Transmission is hosted by The Institute of Engineering and Technology.

ACDC is the meeting point for power transmission engineers to learn about new challenges in the energy industry, arising from environmental, regulatory, political and social factors; and how they impact on the development of transmission schemes.

ORION Project Coordinator Gunther Newcombe will be presenting ORION during the following session:

14:05-14:25 Friday, 3 March, 2023

Plenary Case Study – The Orion Clean Energy Project: Transforming Shetland into a Entirely Secure and Affordable Renewable Energy Island

The vision of the ORION Project is to transform Shetland into a renewable clean energy hub with the export of green hydrogen at industrial scale, providing clean affordable energy to local consumers and helping the oil & gas sector decarbonize. This vision is now becoming a reality with onshore wind providing clean energy onshore and both on and offshore wind being evaluated to provide the energy to produce green hydrogen and hydrogen derivative fuels on Shetland for local use and export. This plenary case study sets out the journey ORION has taken, the achievements to date and plans for the future which will provide valuable insights for other large scale renewable energy projects.
