Infrastructure & Grid Connection
For offshore energy projects, the infrastructure and grid connection costs represent one of the largest components of the total project costs. This means that future research is needed in order to reduce cost and reduce the cost of energy. Within this wide field, PRIMaRE partners have developed expertise on the application and development of the following research areas:
- Co-located devices
- Grid integration
- Operation & maintenance site specific issues (Wave Hub)
- Subsea connectors
