Offshore Energy Hubs
The purpose of the OEH project is to develop technical solutions that addressing several aspects related to offshore energy islands:
a) Solutions enhancing operational stability and thereby security of the energy supply
b) Improving cost-efficiency in the design of wind power plants and
c) hub-optimized offshore Power-to-X
The decision to build the world’s first two offshore energy islands (or hubs) is a cornerstone in reaching Den-mark’s climate targets and a beginning of a new era for green Danish technology export. The Offshore Energy Hubs (OEH) project develops technical solutions addressing several aspects of Energy Islands:
a) tools and control solutions for stable and resilient hub operation,
b) cost-efficient design of wind power plants (WPPs) and
c) hub-optimized offshore Power-to-X (PtX).
The value creation of the OEH-solutions is both direct and indirect. The developed solutions can potentially reduce capital costs by 20bn DKK just for an energy island of 10GW, and, most importantly, will enable a future-proof expansion of energy islands. This opens up immense global market opportunities for the technologies developed by the top Danish industry, who are partners in this project. Therefore, the technical solutions developed in the OEH project contribute to ensuring the profitability of the OEH, while also ensuring the stability of the hub and the connected power systems.
