BAMBOO - Build scAled Modular Bamboo-inspired Offshore sOlar systems

BAMBOO解决了实施可持续的1平方公里/150兆瓦的大型海上浮动光伏（FPV）系统的障碍，该系统将作为欧洲海上浮动光伏项目推出的蓝图，并将与欧盟领先的海上风电公用事业合作伙伴一起实施。海上FPV极大地扩展了光伏潜力，使欧洲实现了2030年和2050年的气候目标。它利用了海上空间、大规模经济、与风力发电场互补的能源产量，而且它是一种对水生生态系统潜在影响较小的解决方案。然而，由于恶劣的海浪和腐蚀性环境，开发海上FPV系统在技术上具有挑战性，而且在经济上也不可行。BAMBOO项目通过四项突破性创新来应对这些挑战，包括：2.通过世界上第一次盆地规模试验和1平方公里毯式阵列的水动力模拟了解大型浮面；北海的一个5mw演示器，采用混合设计，包括浮子中更大阵列保护的好处。海上世界首个海上FPV动态浮动变电站；通过对能源产量、材料循环度、环境影响、LCA和报废策略的评估，BAMBOO为海上FPV系统的商业和可持续应用铺平了道路，显著减少了排放，同时对海洋生态系统产生了积极的净影响。该联盟涵盖了使BAMBOO成功的必要条件：包括海洋能源在内的公司将提供技术，包括MARIN和Fraunhofer在内的rto将提供系统及其环境影响的评估，ABS在认证方面的专业知识以及行业领先的公用事业公司实施海上风电与FPV农场大规模整合的能力。

BAMBOO tackles the barriers for the implementation of a sustainable, large-scale offshore Floating PhotoVoltaics (FPV) system of 1 km2/150 MW, that will act as a blueprint for rollout of offshore FPV projects in Europe, and that is to be implemented in conjunction with the offshore wind leading EU utility-partner. Offshore FPV extends PV potential at enormous scales to make Europe meet its climate targets for 2030 and 2050. It makes use of space at sea, large-scale economies of scale, complementary energy yield with wind farms, and it isa solution with potentially low impact on aquatic eco-systems. However, developing offshore FPV systems is technically challenging due to the harsh conditions of waves &corrosive environments, and economically not feasible yet. Project BAMBOO addresses these challenges through four breakthrough innovations, including: 1. Large floating surface understanding through world’s first basin scale tests and hydrodynamic modelling of 1 km2 blanket-type arrays, 2. A 5 MW demonstrator in the North Sea with hybrid design encompassing the benefits of larger array protection in floaters, 3. The offshore world’s first dynamic floating substation for offshore FPV, and 4. The development of 6 world’s first standard offshore testing methodologies for key FPV-components Through assessments of energy yield, circularity of materials, environmental impact, LCA and end-of-life strategies, BAMBOO paves the way to scale offshore FPV systems to commercial and sustainable applications, significantly reducing emissions, while having a net-positive impact on the marine ecosystem. The consortium covers what is necessary to make BAMBOO a success: companies including Oceans of Energy will provide the technologies, RTOs including MARIN and Fraunhofer the assessment of the system and its environmental impact, ABS expertise on certifications and the industry-leading utility the capacity to implement the large-scale integration of offshore wind with FPV farms.
