Abstract

This article illustrates the updates on the Horizon Europe (HEU) NEWGEN research project 24 months after its beginning. The goal of the HEU-NEWGEN project is the development and validation of a new generation of extruded high-voltage (HVdc) cable systems, encompassing new insulating materials, novel manufacturing, monitoring and diagnostics techniques, and dedicated models for the estimation of the life and reliability of the whole cable system. The encouraging advances of the NEWGEN project amid its expected duration appear as very promising. For this reason, the sought generation of HVdc cables seems capable of fostering the resilience and reliability of the European transmission grid.
