Technology perspectives of the North Sea Offshore and storage Network (NSON)

Abstract

This report contains an overview over the most relevant technologies for realising an offshore power system in the North Sea. Also electric energy storage technologies are being considered, as these may be built offshore and integrated into the offshore power system. Special focus is given on the future perspectives and potentials of the technologies. The technologies are regarded both on component and system level. This technology assessment is concluded with a gap analysis and recommendations for the ways forward toward the realisation of the North Sea Super Grid.
