Electricity generated by alternative energy sources on the OCS can be brought onshore by using submarine cables that connect to the power grid. Relatively short HVAC cables, on the order of a few kilometers, have been used in past offshore wind facilities. However, distances beyond 50 km may be proposed for future sources on the OCS. At such distances, it may be more practical and economical to use HVDC transmission as newer HVDC converter technology is commercialized.
