| Abstract |
Integrating offshore renewable energy (ORE) into power systems is vital for sustainable energy transitions. This paper examines the challenges and opportunities in integrating ORE, focusing on offshore wind and floating solar, into grid systems. A simulation was conducted using a 5 MW offshore wind turbine and a 2 MW floating PV (FPV) system, complemented by a 10 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The simulation utilized the typical load profile of Belgium and actual 2023 electricity price data, along with realistic wind and solar generation patterns for a location at the sea border of Belgium and the Netherlands. The use of real operational and market data ensures the practical relevance of the results. This study highlights the importance of BESS, targeting a significant revenue by participating in system imbalance and providing ancillary services (aFRR and mFRR). Key findings emphasize the need for grid infrastructure transformation to support ORE's growing investments and deployment. This research underscores the essential role of technological innovation and strategic planning in optimizing the potential of ORE sources. |
