Within the framework of the THEUS project, the consortium reviewed techno-economic, societal, and regulatory aspects related to hybrid HVAC/HVDC grids, while also examining relevant activities and projects at the EU level. Part of the findings from this analysis were presented at the 25th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC 2025). Specifically, the primary objective of this work is to analyze the existing technical and regulatory frameworks governing HVAC–HVDC systems, identify key gaps that may hinder their large-scale deployment, and highlight the benefits and challenges associated with their implementation.
The paper, entitled “Hybrid HVAC–HVDC Grids: Review on Techno-Economic, Societal, and Regulatory Aspects”, authored by Kyriaki-Nefeli Malamaki, Georgios Barzegkar-Ntovom, Serafeim Panidis, Stefania-Vaia Gatou, Fotis-Konstantinos Paterakis, Ioannis Moraitis, et al., is now available on IEEE Xplore and Zenodo.
