Cost Model analysis for the electrical integration of floating offshore solar parks with offshore wind parks

report
In this report, a cost modelling analysis of combined offshore floating solar and offshore wind on
the North Sea is presented. This analysis is presented as a part of WP7 of the H2020 UNITED
project , which focuses on the multi-use of space in offshore wind farms, and investigates the
potential benefits of co-use of infrastructure.
This report use a offshore wind farm of 700 MW on the North Sea as test case, and studies three
different integration concepts of offshore floating solar of 180 MWp; the SOLO concept, which is
integrated at a wind farm substation level, the SEMI concept, which is integrated at an wind
turbine array level, and the TOGETHER concept, which is integrated at the individual wind turbine
level. These 3 concepts were selected using an earlier multi criteria analysis (MCA), based on
cost, flexibility, reliability and environmental impact [1].
