Multi Criteria Analysis for the electrical integration of floating offshore solar parks with offshore wind parks
report
In this report, the electrical integration of floating offshore solar farms with offshore wind farms is considered and the potential benefits of co-use of infrastructure are investigated. To this end, 10 electrical integrations concepts were constructed that can be classified in 3 categories: standalone, semi-standalone and turbine-integrated. A multi criteria analysis(MCA) of these 10 integration concepts was performed to find the most promising integration concept. This multi criteria analysis consisted of different scoring groups, specifically the Cost, Flexibility, Reliability and Environment groups. These groups and their scoring criteria all have different weights, each of which was scored between 1 and 5,
leading to final score for each concept. Additionally, two scenarios were considered for this MCA, named the Maximum System Performance and Maximum Compatibility scenarios. These scenarios were used to differentiate between the (eventual) mature state of technology and its early adoption stage, respectively. The main difference between the scenarios is the increased emphasis on cost and value in the Maximum System Performance scenario, while in the Maximum Compatibility scenario the flexibility and reliability of the solution are emphasized.
