The Netherlands Will Receive A New Offshore Wind Energy Project From CrossWind, A Company Formed By Shell And Eneco. The Project Will Have Capacity To Generate Up To 759 MW Of Energy.

An offshore wind energy megaproject will be installed off the coast of the Netherlands capable of generating energy for one million homes. The first wind turbines have already started installation in the project, and one of them features blades larger than the wings of an Airbus A380. To put it into perspective, this model has a length of 238 feet, equivalent to 70 meters.

Offshore Wind Power Plant Will Have Capacity Of 759 MW

The Hollandse Kust Noord park, as it is called, is being constructed by CrossWind, a joint venture formed between Eneco and Shell. The project is located 18.5 km off the coast of the Netherlands and is expected to start operations by the end of this year.

The offshore wind energy project will have a total installed capacity of 759 MW, which will allow for the generation of at least 3.3 TWh of energy annually, enough to meet 2.8% of the country’s energy demands.

In February of this year, CrossWind signed a contract with Elogen, a company of the Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) group, to design and build a 2.5 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer.

The electrolyzer will convert renewable energy from the wind turbines on-site into green hydrogen, giving the project greater flexibility to adapt to variations in offshore wind energy generation, according to the company responsible.

According to the project director and CEO of CrossWind, Tjalling de Bruin, the company is looking forward to this partnership with Elogen to innovate offshore wind energy in the park located in the North Sea.

With the agreement in place and the electrolyzer installed with the latest technologies, it will be possible to demonstrate acceleration in the energy transition by 2025. The installation of technologies on-site began in October 2022 and was completed earlier this month.

Technological Solutions To Ensure Continuous Power Supply

The monopiles without TP, which were produced at Sif’s facilities in Maasvlakte in Rotterdam, will support the SG 11.0-200 DD 11 MW wind turbines from Siemens Gamesa expected to be fully commissioned later this year. The PEM electrolyzer is one of the 5 technological solutions to ensure the continuous power supply that CrossWind needs for the offshore wind farm.

The 5 solutions include a floating photovoltaic park, wind turbines that are optimized for the grid to mitigate the negative effects of “waking” that wind turbines have on each other, short-term battery storage, green hydrogen produced through electrolysis as an additional storage technique, and the integration of these individual measures to generate a continuous power supply regardless of the wind.
