Abstract: 
Streszczenie: 

The future for wind power generation in Germany is offshore wind energy. The preferred concept for power transmission over long distances from the offshore wind farm to the mainland is the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power transmission. In this paper a new transmission concept based on HVDC is presented.
