For the H₂opZee project, H2SEA’s sibling company Enersea was awarded the pipeline concept design work and Siemens Gamesa the concept work for wind turbine systems.
At the beginning of last year, H2SEA announced that the company had developed solutions for system stability in off-grid offshore wind turbine hydrogen production. Three potential solutions were developed by H2SEA and have been analysed in an Electro Magnetic Transient (EMT) study together with high voltage engineering specialist Enersynt.
The preferred solution showed the feasibility of using conventional wind turbines in a system with grid-forming converters and energy storage.
In October last year, H2SEA said it had put together a strategy, together with the consulting firm Guidehouse, for pipeline system operators NGT (NoordGasTransport) and NOGAT (Northern Offshore Gas Transport). The strategy was focused on repurposing existing offshore pipeline infrastructure for hydrogen transport to shore.
