This project brings together BPP-Cables and Logan Energy, experts in offshore cabling and H2 production respectively, to produce OptiH2float. OptiH2float is an end-to-end floating wind farm (FWF) design and H2 production optimisation tool. By inputting data concerning weather conditions, shore distance, FWF size, and more, OptiH2float will provide users with quantified energy generation, impacts, costs, and returns, as well as optimisation suggestions for FWF layout, design, and the H2 production process.Economic, social, and political factors are all driving a growing opportunity for green hydrogen (H2). Technological improvements are reducing the cost of H2 for energy production and transport, making it increasingly attractive (40% cheaper by 2030 \[IRENA, 2020\]). The public in the UK and abroad are demanding policy changes in the face of climate change, and in response 33 countries (including the UK) have declared a climate emergency \[CEDAMIA, 2021\]. The UK Government's ambitious target is to cut 78% of carbon emissions by 2035 \[BBC, 2021\].H2 production integrated into floating wind farms (FWF) can meet this opportunity. However, as a new technology there is much industry uncertainty about the feasibility of this approach. A FWF is a significant investment of time and money, and FWF developers want to see expected profitable returns.

该项目分别汇集了BPP钟表和Logan Energy，离岸电缆和H2生产的专家，以生产OptiH2Float。 OptiH2Float是端到端浮动风电场（FWF）设计和H2生产优化工具。通过输入有关天气条件，岸距离，FWF尺寸等的数据，OptiH2Float将为用户提供量化的能源产生，影响，成本和回报，以及针对FWF布局，设计以及H2生产过程的优化建议。经济，社会和政治因素都是绿色氢气的驱动机会（H2）。技术改进正在降低H2用于能源生产和运输的成本，从而使其越来越有吸引力（到2030年，便宜40％\ [Irena，2020 \]）。面对气候变化，英国和国外的公众要求政策发生变化，在回应中，有33个国家（包括英国）宣布气候紧急情况\ [Cedamia，2021年\]。英国政府的雄心勃勃的目标是在2035年之前减少78％的碳排放量。但是，作为一种新技术，这种方法的可行性存在很大的行业不确定性。 FWF是时间和金钱的重大投资，FWF开发人员希望看到预期的有利可图的回报。
