Danish Floating Power Plant Integrates Wind, Wave, and Hydrogen Technologies in Flagship Project
Key Ideas
  • Floating Power Plant in Denmark purchases a 4.3 MW wind turbine from Siemens Gamesa for its demonstrator project off the coast of Gran Canaria.
  • The project integrates wind, wave, and hydrogen technologies, including a 1 MW electrolyzer and a 1.2 MW fuel cell.
  • The full-scale demonstrator will be deployed in the Canary Isles, Spain, after securing a EUR 26 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund.
  • According to the company, the selected wind turbine aligns with their requirements and showcases an unprecedented integration of renewable energy technologies.
Denmark's Floating Power Plant has acquired a 4.3 MW wind turbine from Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy for its flagship demonstrator project located off the coast of Gran Canaria. The wind turbine, a Siemens Gamesa SWT-DD-120 model, meets the company's needs for a well-established technology. This turbine will be a crucial component of the project, which aims to demonstrate the integration of wind power, wave power, and hydrogen storage technologies. The project, known as P-Demo, includes a 0.8 MW wave energy converter system, a 1 MW electrolyzer, 48 MWh of energy storage, and a 1.2 MW fuel cell. The full-scale demonstrator will be set up at PLOCAN's test site in the Canary Isles, Spain, with financial support from a EUR 26 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund. Laura Volta Roqueta, the senior wind turbine engineer at Floating Power Plant, expressed satisfaction with the selected wind turbine, emphasizing its alignment with the project's requirements and its direct-drive technology as a perfect fit for the demonstrator platform.
