The purpose of this project is to understand the current status of the construction of the electricity transmission network around the Mediterranean Sea (also known as Mediterranean Ring) and provide insights on the potential benefits and challenges that will arise from these interconnections.
In this sense, this project study the potential impact that this infrastructure will have both for the European Countries, namely the ones around the Mediterranean Sea, and Middle East and North African countries involved.
Furthermore, based on literature research, this project identify the state of the art of current HVAC and HVDC technologies and potential interconnection paths between European countries and North Africa that are expected to be built upon 2050.
