NoviOcean's 1 MW Hybrid combines wind, wave & solar for 45% more power & smoother delivery. Reduce costs, boost output & embrace sustainable energy.
The race for clean, sustainable energy is on, and offshore wind farms are leading the charge. But what if we could unlock even more potential from these powerful installations? Enter NoviOcean 1 MW hybrid converter, a game-changer poised to revolutionize the future of offshore wind.
Harnessing Nature's Full Potential:
NoviOcean converter isn’t just another wind turbine. It’s a powerhouse that combines wind, wave, and solar energy into a single, integrated unit. While wind farms capture the power of the breeze, NoviOcean additionally taps into the vast, untapped wave energy potential. This trifecta of renewable sources unlocks several key advantages:
1. Smoothing the Intermittency: Wind is fickle, its strength fluctuating with the whims of nature. This variability can create challenges for grid stability. But the ocean’s waves are more consistent, their rhythmic power providing a counterpoint to wind’s fluctuations. Integrating NoviOcean’s converter into wind farms creates a synergistic effect, smoothing out energy production and ensuring more reliable, predictable power delivery.
2. Boosting Overall Output: Let’s not forget the sun! NoviOcean’s converter incorporates solar panels, harvesting the ever-present solar energy to further amplify energy production. This trifecta of renewable sources maximizes energy capture, potentially increasing overall output by up to 45% compared to wind-only farms.
3. Cost-Effectiveness: Imagine a single unit capturing the power of three! NoviOcean converter boasts a modular design, allowing for easier installation and maintenance compared to deploying separate wind, wave, and solar systems. This translates to reduced operational costs and a faster return on investment for wind farm operators.
4. Environmental Champion: As a champion of sustainability, NoviOcean converter goes beyond just clean energy production. Its low environmental impact minimizes interference with marine life and habitats. Additionally, by diversifying energy sources, the converter reduces reliance on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to combating climate change.
Sea Area Optimization:
NoviOcean's 1 MW Hybrid offers even more efficiency in space utilization compared to traditional wind turbines:
1 km² with a single 10 MW Wind Turbine: Generates 34,000 MWh/year and often faces objections due to proximity to land.
1 km² with 15 MW NoviOcean Hybrid: Generates 52,000 MWh/year, avoids 34,000 tons of CO2 emissions, and enjoys wider public acceptance due to lower visual and audible impact.
1 km² with co-located 24 MW system (10 MW wind + 15 MW NoviOcean ): Generates 86,000 MWh/year, benefits from shared infrastructure costs, and offers a vast CO2 emissions reduction potential across applicable areas.
