INTEGRATION OF OFFSHORE WIND FARMS Energy supply will change dramatically over the coming decades as we move towards a CO2-neutral society in 2050. The way in which the transition takes shape will have an impact on the energy infrastructure. Offshore wind has an important role to play in the future energy supply. The strong growth of offshore wind energy requires an expansion of the electricity grid. This calls for a systematic approach, paying attention to the balance between energy supply and demand and the connection between the offshore and onshore energy infrastructures. Energy hub defined as the place where the production, conversion, storage and consumption of different energy carriers takes place, is a promising option for integration of offshore wind Figure 1: Offshore wind farm substation farms. Energy hub is considered as a unit where multiple energy carriers can be converted, conditioned, and stored. It represents an interface between different energy infrastructures and/or loads. Within the hub, energy is converted and conditioned using e.g., transformers, powerelectronic devices, thermal and electrical loads/storages and other equipment. Figure 2: Energy hub concept Combining substation with the energy-hub concept is considered as essential for effective integration of large-scale offshore windfarms The Assignment goals In this project it is expected to analyze the respective and collective roles of substation automation and energy hub concept for the integration of wind farms in the north of Netherlands. The questions to be answered are: 1. What are the most suitable substation automation designs for offshore wind farms?
