The Nautical SUNRISE consortium companions have commenced the challenge whose purpose is to facilitate analysis and growth of offshore floating photo voltaic techniques and its parts. The challenge goals to combine a 5 MW offshore floating photo voltaic system inside RWE’s OranjeWind, a wind farm to be constructed 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast.
Analysis and growth on the offshore floating photo voltaic (OFS) techniques and its parts of the EUR 8.4 million challenge, supported by EUR 6.8 million of the Horizon Europe programme, kicked off in December 2023.
The challenge will allow the large-scale deployment and commercialisation of offshore floating photo voltaic techniques sooner or later, each as standalone techniques and built-in into offshore wind farms.
The challenge goals to design, construct, and showcase a 5 MW OFS system utilizing the modular resolution of the Dutch floating firm SolarDuck.
With RWE offering the funding for the set up and deployment, the system is deliberate to be electrically built-in, licensed, and situated inside RWE’s 800 MW OranjeWind offshore wind farm within the Netherlands.
The Nautical SUNRISE challenge will assess the environmental footprint, circularity, and full life-cycle sustainability of offshore floating photo voltaic techniques.
This evaluation is not going to solely cowl the demonstrator challenge but additionally embrace a number of GW-scale industrial tasks, making certain a complete understanding of the know-how’s ecological implications, in response to the Dutch Marine Power Centre (DMEC), which is likely one of the consortium companions.
Different Nautical SUNRISE consortium companions embrace SolarDuck, RWE, Blunova – a Carlo Maresca Group firm, Bridon-Bekaert The Ropes Group, Deltares, Hasselt College (UHasselt), KU Leuven, Oxford PV, SINTEF Trade, SINTEF Ocean, The Catalonia Institute for Power Analysis (IREC-CERCA), INESC TEC, and WavEC Offshore Renewables.

In November 2022, RWE received the suitable to construct and function a subsidy-free offshore wind farm within the Hollandse Kust West (HKW) VII website.
The OranjeWind offshore wind farm can have an put in capability of just about 800 MW and is anticipated to begin producing renewable electrical energy in 2027.
The challenge will incorporate floating photo voltaic panels, a subsea lithium-ion battery, and a LiDAR system to foretell energy manufacturing extra precisely, in response to RWE.
