“The Horizon 2020 green deal project, led by the Dutch Marine Energy Centre, EU-SCORES will demonstrate the combination of offshore wind with wave- and offshore solar PV energy.”
The deployment is planned to last for approximately two years. It will continuously deliver electricity to the local Belgium grid.
“The floaters will be designed and built in the Netherlands. Subsequently, the floaters will be transported to the Port van Oostende in Belgium, where local contractors will be hired to deploy the system in early 2023.”
“This will pave the way for bankable multi-source offshore parks across Europe by 2025. These multi-source parks will use offshore space more efficiently and balance the electricity grid to achieve a resilient and cost-effective 100% renewable energy system.”
Solar Wind Grid
“A 3 MW grid-connected offshore solar PV system by Oceans of Energy is going to be installed 2 km off the Belgian coast at the Blue Accelerator test site. The demonstration will focus on the complementary production profile to wind parks, the electrical integration in existing infrastructure and the survivability of such a large floating structure.”
