Offshore Hydrogen Wind Turbine
The purpose of the project is to gain access to low priced green hydrogen based on renewable electricity is of key importance for realising the transition to a fossil free energy system.
Access to low priced green hydrogen based on renewable electricity is of key importance for realising the transition to a fossil free energy system. The Offshore Hydrogen Wind Turbine (OHWT) project investigates the concept of an offshore wind turbine with integrated electrolyzer as it eliminates the need for costly electrical infrastructure and the associated conversion losses. Initial Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) analysis reveals reductions of up to 25% compared to an offshore wind farm and onshore electrolysis.
The OHWT project focuses on optimising the integration between the wind turbine and electrolyser as well as increasing the electrolyser pressure to min. 80 bar in order to eliminate offshore hydrogen compression and ease coupling to a future hydrogen gas network.
