1 International Conference Ocean Energy Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada, November 4-6, 2014 Multi-use Platform Concepts for the Oceans of Tomorrow Jochen Bard Head of Division Energy and Process Engineering Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy & Energy System Technology, Kassel, Germany

2 Hybrids: floating Wind-Wave combinations Poseidon Wave/Wind Energy Platform In 2008 FPP launched a 37 meter test- and demonstration plant at an open sea test site in the Southern part of Denmark. The plant has been in operation for two years, with docking for both maintenance and mounting of test equipment. source:

9 From energy hybrids to multi-use platforms for Blue Growth Motivation Do hybrid concepts for wind, wave and tide or multi-use platforms increase the resource utilization? reduce cost of offshore renewables? or reduce environmental impact? If YES how & how much in comparison to applying them individually? Are there enough combined resources to make a significant impact at the EU scale? Does combining multipurpose platforms reduce the competition of ocean use (Fishing, Transport, Energy as in the recent EU call)? Which are the most promising categories (not individual concepts) for future development? If combined use/multipurpose platforms have a future, who is going to implement them: large manufacturing industries, utilities, ship yards,.

10 Synergies, Hybrids and Combined Platforms Wind/Wave/Tidal. Spatial synergies: Sharing the area (Co-location) Installation and infrastructure commonalities grid connection Installation equipment (vessels, jackups, ) port infrastructure O&M synergies Process engineering synergies: hydrogen, desalination, other non-electrical applications Offshore Renewable Hybrids Multipurpose Platform Concepts, Energy Islands

15 OCEAN : Multi-use offshore platforms call: FP7-OCEAN-2011 Increasingly, energy, fisheries and transport infrastructures are being established offshore. Facilities such as offshore wind farms may occupy large areas and compete with other users of the maritime space. Offshore platforms that can combine many functions within the same infrastructure could offer significant benefits in terms of economics, optimising spatial planning and minimising the impact on the environment. This topic aims to develop novel innovative designs for multi-use offshore platforms and assess the technical, economical and environmental feasibility of constructing, installing, operating, servicing, maintaining and decommissioning together with the related transport aspects. The platforms shall target ocean renewable energy and in particular offshore wind, aquaculture and the related transport maritime services.
