TP II.4 Dynamic models for wind resource assessment

Sub-project in Innovation Area II – Sustainable maritime spatial planning and use of the German Bight

Studies on sustainable spatial and land use planning require accurate information on wind resources from mesoscale simulations.

A more precise modeling of coastal processes and the first analysis of operating strategies of offshore wind farms and co-utilization concepts on the mesoscale are missing.

The issues and model requirements are identified together with the stakeholders.

TP II.2 Consideration of co-utilization potentials

Sub-project in Innovation Area II – Sustainable maritime spatial planning and use of the German Bight

In this sub-project, potentials and obstacles to the co-use of wind energy with other land users (e.g. fishing, military, transport), but also through uses such as wave, tidal or solar energy, are being developed.

Based on interviews with stakeholders from research and industry as well as users of the maritime space, various co-utilization scenarios are also being developed, e.g. for energy conversion and storage.
