Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO090: Technical layout and design rules for multi-source parks
Sarah Kluge, Project Manager, Dutch Marine Energy Centre
Abstract
With the need for more renewable energy sources, other offshore renewable energy (ORE) sources next to offshore wind have received increasing attention in the past years. Due to high competition over marine space, innovators started to investigate possibilities to combine different ORE technologies at the same location in so-called multi-source (MS) parks. Studies have been performed about the possibility of MS parks to deliver smoother power output, on their techno-economic characteristics, as well as their potential mooring design and electrical layout. However, to our knowledge, no study has yet conducted a comprehensive investigation into the combination of all different layout requirements for MS parks. This includes challenges such as avoiding intersections between cables and mooring lines, while optimizing the park electricity output and minimizing the overall costs. This study offers a systematic approach for defining and computing key layout parameters for MS parks. Interdependencies between parameters are also analysed. Using a case study in the Dutch North Sea, we show how the various requirements can be translated and combined in different layouts given the capacities in the MS park. The two main research questions (RQ) of this study are (1) which parameters influence the layout of MS parks and how do they depend on each other and (2) how can the parameters be assessed? Linked to the RQs, two main research goals are (1) a flow chart of the key layout parameters and (2) an analytical framework to compute the spatial implications of the parameters. The approach described here mirrors the process of retrofitting wind farms by integrating other ORE, to transform them into MS parks. We therefore base the layout on pre-defined turbine positions. Since the first large-scale MS parks will likely be offshore solar-wind parks (OSWP), this study focuses on this configuration.
