pn-iii-p4-id-pce-2020-0008

exploratory research project

Financing contract for project execution no. PCE 169 / 2021.

Funding amount: 1.038.490,00 lei. Implementation period: 4 January 2021 - 31 December 2023 (36 months).

Project executive summary

Starting from the high dynamics of the offhsore wind industry noticed in the last years, the first objective is to evaluate the expected wind parameters until the end of the 21st century conidering different RCP scenarios. Various European coastal environments are targeted, including also the Black Sea. The results provided by regional atmospheric models (made available by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute) will be processed and analysed and on this basis, the expected performances of the most recent technologies will be assessed From this perspective, the project results will allow designing recommendations to the manufacturers for improving the technologies and adapt them better tot he expected wind conditions for the locations targeted. Another issue is represented by the sinergy of the wind with wave and solar energy. At this point, the advantages of collocation against the implementation of hybrid technologies will be analysed. Another important objective is represented by a more comprehensive assessment of the near and far-field effects of marine farms. An original computational platform, combining high-resolution solvers for the microscale, with wave and nearshore circulation models for macroscale, will be implemented and used. Finally, studies of various farm configurations and evaluations concerning the medium and long term impact of the marine energy farms on the shoreline dynamics will be performed.

Project Objectives

The general objective of the proposed project is to enhance the efficiency of harvesting marine renewable energy in the European nearshore through hybris technologies adapted to the changes of the environmental matrix expected in the context of the climate change. The objective is in the line with strategic energy technology (SET) plan of the European Union for a competitive low-carbon energy integrate roadmap. Thus, development of advanced ocean energy systems joining various technologies and resources to be harvested, as well as a better understanding of their interaction with the resources in the context of the expected dynamics of the environmental matrix due to the climate changes, represent aspects of high interes. New system designs and methodologies integrating also cross-cutting issues are needed to enhance reliability and induce a step change in the sector. From this perspective, any coherent research focused on such issues should be strongly encouraged. Following this general objective, ground-breaking research and innovation actions are needed and some of them are targeted by the present project. Specific objectives have also defined as follows:

    1. Evaluation of the future expected wind power along the European coasts considering three Representative Concentration Pathway scenarios (RCP) 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5 until 2100.
    2. Design the future expected wind conditions for the target areas considered corresponding to two different time intervals NF (near future, the interval 2021-2026) and DF (distant future, the interval 2061-2100). Three large European geographical areas are mainly targeted by the present project and they are illustrated in Figure 1. The first target area, denoted as (TA1) is represented by the North and Baltic Seas. The first offshore wind farm (Vindeby) was installed in 1991 in the Baltic Sea by Denmark. The second, (TA2) includes Ireland and the western sides of the French and Iberian coastal environments. Due to the high waves that are characteristic, these areas can be considered as having the highest potential in Europe in relationship with the joint marine energy resources. Finally the third target area (TA3) is the Black Sea, focused on its western side.
    3. Evaluation of the historical wave and solar energy conditions corresponding to the three target areas. This will include hindcast models, but also in situ and remotely sensed measurements.
    4. Evaluation of the existent wind technologies in the three coastal environments targeted considering the conditions expected in NF and DF time intervals under RCPs 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5. This will be focuse on two important issues, wind turbines and floating platform designs.
    5. Combined hydr-structural analyses of the wind technologies and formulation of recommendations for the wind turbines and floating platforms in order to adapt better to the expected configurations of the environmental matrices in the coastal environments targeted.
    6. Evaluation of the latest technologies for wave and offshore solar energy conversion and of the possibility to collocate wave or/and solar energy parks in places where wind farms already operate. Analise the possibility for implementation of hybrid technologies in the nearshore areas targeted.
    7. Development of a coupled modelling system (CSIAM - Computational System for Impact Assessment of the Marine energy farms) going from micro to macroscale modelling in order to account for intra and inter arrays interactions and far field effects of the marine energy farms.
    8. Designing of various energy farm configurations and study of the intra and inter arrays interactions (near field effects) using CSIAM computational environment.
    9. Studies using CSIAM of the far field effects for various energy farm configurations.
    10. Assessment of the feasibility of implementing marine energy farms in the Black Sea.

Expected Results

The results provided by regional atmospheric models (made available by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute) will be processe and analysed, and on this basis, the expected performances of the most recent wind technologies will be assessed. From this perspective, the project results will allow designing recommendations to the manufacturers for improving the technologies and adapt them better to the expected wind conditions for the locations targeted. Another issue is represented by the valorisation of the synergy between the wind with wave and solar energy. An original computattional platform, containing high-resolution solvers for the microscale, with wave and nearshore circulation models for the macroscale, will be implemented and used. Finally, studies of various farm configuration and evaluations concerning the medium and long term impact of the marine energy farms on the shoreline dynamics will be performed.

All the expected results have been integrally achieved and many of them have been substantially exceeded.

What is it about?

In this webinar, our focus will be on advances and challenges in the extraction of offshore renewable energy. Offshore renewable energy sources are abundant, and the amount of energy that can be generated using existing technologies varies from site to site and day to day, depending on the location and weather conditions. As we are all aware, a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions and transition to a low-carbon future represents an issue of increasing importance. From this perspective, the extraction of clean offshore renewable energy is a very important issue. On the other hand, the technologies associated with offshore renewable energy are significant for achieving the expected energy efficiency and environmental protection targets. Although significant advances have been made in extracting various forms of offshore renewable energy, there are still important challenges related to the implementation of cost-effective technologies that could survive in harsh marine environments. Such aspects will be discussed in this webinar, which seeks to contribute to the renewable energy agenda and to improve knowledge and performance in harvesting offshore renewable energy
