West of Orkney Windfarm’s Post

Great to see this! Local knowledge and research is so valuable to the Project

Summer season is almost over, and with it I cannot miss the opportunity to praise Saule Gudziute for defending successfully her MSc thesis "Optimal sizing of co-located wind-energy storage farm to reduce wind curtailment". Personally, it has been a very interesting project, which can help a broad audience in the wind industry since the common problem of curtailment, and tackled by a motivated student! This thesis investigated the mitigation strategies of energy curtailment through the use of energy storage technologies and their sizing when co-located with an offshore wind farm. An optimization algorithm was developed to determine the energy storage size for three different scenarios: total curtailment mitigation, curtailment mitigation subject to technical storage constraints, and curtailment mitigation considering both technical and economical factors of the energy storage. During her MSc thesis, Saule compared and sized three different storage technologies (Li-ion batteries, flow batteries, and liquid air energy storage), considering their technical constraints. Later on, she introduced a cost per MWh curtailed, along with a cost per MW and MWh of energy storage installed, thus making the sizing algorithm subject to both technical and economical aspects. This MSc thesis is a fantastic example of how a supervisor can learn so much during a thesis project. Even though co-supervising Saule, so helping and supporting her work throughout the whole period, I must admit I have been learning quite a lot from both the topic itself, and the coding perspective too. Saule managed to summarize clearly and concisely the problem of wind curtailment in the UK, and presented majestically her work on her defense day! The supervisors team was composed of: - Tomasz Jerominek, Senior Energy Storage Engineer representing Ørsted. - Jan Martin Zepter (PostDoc) and Mattia Marinelli (Associate Professor) representing DTU Wind and Energy Systems. A special thank goes to Frank Martin, Chief Grid Specialist at European Energy, for censoring the MSc thesis defense.

What about helping us formulating the next generation atmospheric turbulence model for designing the large (floating) wind turbines of tomorrow?

📢 Innosea has authored a new paper on shared anchors and mooring lines for floating wind turbine farms, following insights heard at the EERA DeepWind 2023 conference in Trondheim, Norway. Check it out 👀👇🏼 Read the paper 💻 https://lnkd.in/e83pKfsu Our Maxime Chemineau, Florian Castillo, Valentin Arramounet, Jean-Christophe Gilloteaux and Longitude Engineering's Lucas Mechinaud, each contributed to the research, which focuses on innovative mooring layouts using shared anchors and shared mooring lines 🔗 Results of the technical studies show that 👇🏼 ✳Shared anchor layouts are technically feasible, but do not improve the mooring system procurement costs due to the spacing constraint between each turbine. ✳ Sharing mooring lines at the farm level seems more promising due to the decrease in the amount of material used. This research is funded by the Horizon H2020 project Corewind, grant number 815083. The project focuses on cost reduction of floating wind technology through research and optimization of the mooring and anchoring systems, dynamic cables, as well as the improvement of installation, operation and maintenance activities.
