The future of offshore platforms

1. The goal of the energy transition is ambitious...
...this challenge is met by fostering and applying ideas.
You will be presented a hybrid solution of multiple innovative (key)
applications.

2. Development of a new generation HVDC wind power platform
Current Offshore Asset Base and
developments (2GW)
• uses onshore optimised high voltage
equipment
• offshore platform encases an onshore
station setup
• accomodations
• optimisation in upscaling →2GW
Mobilised offshore converter platform
as geometric standard
• modular
• flexible
• mobile
• simple
• partly needs modified high voltage
equipment
• optimisation in downscaling to serial
standard capacity modules
state of the art
possible near
future state of
technology
same functions and
capacity

3. Designed to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow
• Increase the affordability by leveraging
installation costs for large scale offshore
wind
• Shift maintenance activities to more cost
effective working onshore
• Increase the efficiency by spare part
pooling
• Provide flexible solution for post in
service wind power generation capapcity
increasement for windturbine
overplanting on existing windfarms fields
and future repowering
• Building a future proof solution
• Decrease environmental footprint

4. Development has started ...
• …by cooperation between TSO and
potential suppliers
• …in adapting existing market solutions to
suit the intended purpose even better
• …to generate an OPEN standard
• …to incite suppliers to join and support
innovative solutions to make the TSO
business excel
• …to boost long-term initiatives like North
Sea Wind Power Hub or country border
exceeding interconnectors in Europe by
increasing economical acceptance

5. Other applications could be...
• ...electrifying offshore oil and gas exploration and transportation
• ...high voltage AC transmission line extension for wind park connections (reactive
power compensation)
• ...seawater desalination as preprocess step for P2X electrolysis applications by
using low temperature energy sources e.g. from power electronic heat losses
• ...offshore vessel (battery) inductive charging or plugged charging
