A Hybrid Wind and Solar Energy Supply System for Offshore Platform
As a result, a Hybrid Wind and Solar Energy Supply System could be a viable option for remote power supply for offshore platforms, lowering capital, operating, and
Offshore solar power systems can help oil and gas companies meet stringent greenhouse gas reduction targets and comply with international climate agreements and national regulations aimed at reducing emissions from the sector.
Oil and gas companies are adopting offshore solar and hybrid power systems, overcoming challenges with new technological advancements. As the global push for renewable energy intensifies, oil and gas companies are increasingly exploring solutions to transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources for supporting their operations.
Why Solar in Oil and Gas? Oil and gas operations often occur in remote locations where grid access is limited, relying heavily on diesel generators for power. These generators are expensive, noisy, and emit significant CO2—issues solar energy can address.
Although the LCOEs of the designed battery-integrated system were found to be higher than a typical on-grid solar PV system commonly installed over lakes or dams to support a national energy portfolio, an offshore environment essentially requires an energy storage solution.
