Electricity generated at sea is directly fed into the onshore converter platform where the conversion of AC into direct current (DC) takes place. The electricity is transported by submarine cable to shore and then by underground cable to the onshore converter station, where it is converted back into three-phase current and fed into the extra-high voltage grid. Economically speaking, this innovative technology leads to enormous cost savings.
