Engineers

**Reference ID**:

**Context**:
The electric grid is an important asset of the energy landscape that supports the social economic welfare. Elia wants to be a catalyst towards a successful energy transition by contributing to the development of a reliable, sustainable and affordable energy system. By building new interconnectors and integrating renewables in our grid we stimulate the European energy market as well as the decarbonization of our society.

The energy transition will lead to large-scale production and integration of renewable energy. The consumer will play a more and more central role in this system where they will provide extra flexibility to the grid.

Elia has commissioned two new HVDC interconnectors in the past few years: one connection with the United Kingdom (Nemo Link) and one with Germany (Alegro). Apart from this Elia plays a critical role in connecting renewable energy, produced in the North Sea. In the near future Elia will build an artificial island in the Belgian part of the North Sea, this for the connection of renewable energy production on one hand and for the connection of future HVDC interconnectors on the other (possibly extra interconnection with the United Kingdom, a connection with Denmark, ).

In this energy transition, new technologies and digitization are key. Within the department, Engineering Standards & Expertise, two new teams have been created (Power Electronics & Virtual Substations). The team working on Power Electronics will centralize the expertise around HVDC, FACTS like STATCOMs, synchronous condensers and AC filters but they will also be the technical support for the ongoing and future projects.
