Europe is currently in a transition away from its dependency on Russian gas towards a fully renewable, reliable, and low-cost energy system by 2050. To achieve this target, large-scale renewable energy projects are essential. However, the transition is limited by several factors such as onshore space availability to deploy GW-scale projects, supply chain disruptions, and concerns from various stakeholders around visual pollution and space use. Offshore floating PV (OFPV) can deliver hundreds of GWs in Europe by 2050 while resolving above challenges. In areas with a fast-expanding offshore wind sector (e.g. North Sea), OFPV can be combined with wind inside multi source farms. This enables the extraction of up to 9x more energy per km2 and better utilization of the infrastructure due to 10-20% more full-load hours, while leaving space for other stakeholders as fewer wind parks and electrical infrastructure are needed for the same amount of electricity production. In parts of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea with low wind resources, also stand-alone OFPV can help to achieve high penetration of renewable energy. Nautical SUNRISE will remove the last barriers of OFPV to deliver these benefits. A 5 MW grid-connected, multi-year offshore demonstration of a highly competitive OFPV system and its components inside a commercial wind farm will provide the trust needed for the upscaling of the technology. Prior to the demonstration, itstechnical reliability will be validated in the most extreme conditions through laboratory measurements, wave-wind tank tests, and modelling studies. The cost reduction achieved through design improvements will be quantified in concrete business cases and should enable an LCOE of <148 €/ MWh, making OFPV financially viable. Additionally, the measurement campaign at the OFPV demonstration, large-scale environmental modelling, and life-cycle assessment including circularity will help to understand the overall effect on the environment.

到2050年，欧洲正处于摆脱对俄罗斯天然气的依赖，转向完全可再生、可靠和低成本的能源系统的过渡时期。要实现这一目标，大规模的可再生能源项目至关重要。然而，过渡受到几个因素的限制，例如可用于部署GW规模项目的陆上空间、供应链中断，以及各种利益相关者对视觉污染和空间使用的担忧。到2050年，海上浮动光伏(OFPV)可以在解决上述挑战的同时，在欧洲交付数百个GW。在海上风电行业快速发展的地区(例如北海)，OFPV可以与多个来源的发电场内的风能相结合。这使得每平方公里的能源采掘量增加了9倍，基础设施的利用率提高了10%-20%，同时为其他利益相关者留出了空间，因为相同数量的电力生产需要更少的风电场和电力基础设施。在地中海和黑海风能资源较少的部分地区，独立的OFPV也可以帮助实现可再生能源的高渗透率。航海日出将消除OFPV的最后障碍，以实现这些好处。在一个商业风电场内，一个5兆瓦的并网发电、为期多年的极具竞争力的OFPV系统及其组件的海上示范将为该技术的升级提供所需的信任。在演示之前，将通过实验室测量、风浪水槽试验和模型研究，在最极端的条件下验证其技术可靠性。通过改进设计实现的成本降低将在具体的商业案例中量化，并将使LCOE达到148欧元/兆瓦时，使OFPV在财务上可行。此外，OFPV示范的测量活动、大规模环境建模以及包括循环性在内的生命周期评估将有助于了解对环境的总体影响。
