挪国油将对韩国海上浮式风电项目进行评估

    中国石化新闻网讯 据韩国时报7月6日报道，韩国计划到2030年将海上风电装机容量提高到12吉瓦。为了满足这一日益增长的需求，挪国油Equinor正计划开发海上浮式风电项目“Firefly”。

    在接下来的一年里，将进行风能资源可行性研究。RPS负责交付两个漂浮式激光雷达，以收集数据，来决定未来的投资决策。上周末，它们从蔚山部署到了东海，这是该项目的一个重要里程碑。

    RPS能源部总经理Murray Burling评论道:“为了确保海上风电场的商业可行性，需要可靠的资源数据来支持项目可行性评估。开发一种通最大限度地提高数据的准确性和可靠性的设计，同时使信息收集过程更容易、更安全、更划算，这是我们的首要关注点。”

    挪国油韩国总经理兼国家办事处经理Jacques-Etienne Michel表示:“我们很高兴看到漂浮式激光雷达被部署。这项可行性研究收集的数据对于确定亚洲首个海上浮式风电场的未来发展方向非常重要。为了实现这一目标，我们期待与所有伙伴合作，因为我们看到了韩国开发海上风能的强大潜力。”

    明年，浮标将停泊在蔚山离岸约80公里处，收集风力和海浪数据，以确定资源的可行性。数据将每10分钟通过卫星通信传送一次。

    Equinor and RPS successfully launch new LiDAR buoys in South Korea

    Equinor is planning to develop the floating offshore wind project Firefly, to support this growing demand

    South Korea has ambitious plans to develop 12GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. To support this growing demand, Equinor is planning to develop the floating offshore wind project Firefly.

    Over the next year, a feasibility study into the viability of wind resource will be conducted. RPS was engaged to deliver two Floating LiDAR buoys to collect the data that will determine future investment decisions. Over this past weekend they were deployed into the East Sea from Ulsan, marking a significant project milestone.

    Commenting on the launch, RPS Managing Director Energy AAP, Murray Burling said, “To ensure the commercial viability of an offshore wind farm, our clients need reliable resource data to support their project feasibility assessment.

    “Developing a design that maximises data accuracy and return through reliability, while making the process of information gathering easier, safer and more cost-effective for our clients, is our primary concern.”

    Equinor Managing Director and Country Office Manager for South Korea, Jacques-Etienne Michel said: “We are pleased to see the Floating LiDARs being deployed. The data gathered through this feasibility study will be important to determine the way forward for what could be Asia’s first floating offshore wind farm. To get there, we are looking forward to collaborating with all partners as we see strong potential in developing offshore wind in South Korea.”

    The buoys will be moored some 80 km offshore of Ulsan for the next year, collecting wind and wave data to determine the resource viability. Data will be transmitted every 10 minutes via satellite communications.
