“…A review of the available literature has highlighted a number of fields of research where the focus of this paper could be useful. Currently, there are a number of studies regarding optimizing the connections of offshore wind farms and other offshore generation technologies such as wave and tidal technologies [16,17]. Both of these technologies, like offshore wind, utilize offshore transmission systems and could benefit from the relative maturity of offshore wind cable connections, despite its lack of failure rate statistics.…”

In the offshore wind industry, failures are often costlier than those experienced onshore. Through examination of the literature, it is clear that failures occurring in offshore transmission systems are not well documented. As a result of this, many developers and other parties involved in the planning processes associated with offshore wind farms will defer back to existing reliability metrics in the public domain. This article presents a review of European offshore wind farm transmission failures based on fusing information from multiple public domain sources. The results highlight both the spread of the reliability performance of these assets and the reliability performance over time. The results also reinforce the industry view that installation practices could lead to low reliability in the initial years of operation, resulting in increased repair costs and decreased revenue for wind farm owners and operators. The information collated in the review is also compared to metrics from across the literature to evaluate the difference in forecasted failure rates to those experienced within the industry. In general, it is found that the experienced failure rates are subject to a much higher spread in practice than those published until now.

“…In addition, conventional DC based sources have extended available farm scale in terms of the number and level of the classified voltage. These trends build a hybrid concept in terms of operation environment which has an advantage of not only the structural efficiency of transmission system but also the power utilization [31]. When composing a combine system with the wind-energy systems in the offshore regions, in particular, the tidal linear generator is being aggressively considered as a suitable cooperating device owing to their effectiveness and popularity [32].…”

Adaptive Curtailment Plan with Energy Storage for AC/DC Combined Distribution Systems

For developing a large-scale combined system with a number of distributed resources, an appropriate compensation strategy based on the system components and changeable condition must be configured to handle the characteristics of the internal systems. Since renewable sources generate various fluctuations, the compensation plans for the storage device connected along with the sources should be supported by a precise expectation method. A cooperative strategy involving the sharing of the DC section with environmentally sensitive generators, like photovoltaic system (PVs) or waves, demands appropriate ESS compensation solutions, owing to its complexity. An active power-control algorithm with voltage-expectation based on the DC power flow is introduced in this paper and is applied in the designed case studies performed on the electromagnetic transient simulation. DC based multi-generation system is composed by applying tidal generator and super capacitor. To utilize wind energy, an offshore wind-wave generation system was utilized in the verification process.

“…For example, Stoutenburg and Jacobson (2011) assess the viability of incorporating wave energy devices into offshore wind farms. Their results indicate that such a farm would reduce the variability of power generation as well as reduce transmission costs per megawatt of capacity.…”

Private incentives for the emergence of co-production of offshore wind energy and mussel aquaculture

Technological solutions to increase the efficiency of spatial use can play a key role as part of the toolbox of marine spatial planning. Co-locating of multiple ocean uses can potentially increase the production and enjoyment of the ocean while limiting impacts. However, a basic precondition for co-locating or coproduction is that all parties' private incentives are aligned. We use a case study of co-locating an offshore wind energy firm and a mussel aquaculture firm to assess the incentive structure for cooperation and to demonstrate that social benefits from co-locating exist. We find that there is room for cooperation between firms based on potential cost sharing and that the demonstrated social benefits may arise without government intervention.
