The collaboration will analyze the benefits of combining offshore wind and wave energy and show the potential of optimizing the energy yield from the natural resources available in Danish waters.
A co-location of offshore wind and wave energy presents a multitude of benefits, including:
Increased energy production: Utilizing both wind and wave resources can lead to higher overall energy output from the same area.
Enhanced grid stability: The combination of wind- and wave energy can provide a more stable and reliable supply of electricity, reducing intermittency issues.
Cost efficiency: Sharing infrastructure such as transmission lines, offshore operations, and surveillance can significantly reduce operational costs.
Environmental benefits: Co-locating renewable energy technologies can minimize the environmental footprint compared to separate installations.
Emiel Schut, CCO, says, “We are excited about the opportunities this collaboration presents and the positive impact it can have on the environment and energy market of the future.”
