H2SEA will be exhibiting at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam on 10 and 11 May. Visit our stand D05 in hall 6 and learn all about the breakthroughs we have achieved in the field of offshore hydrogen production and the demonstration projects in which we are participating.

Let’s catch up and see how we can help you with your hydrogen challenges. We serve great coffee, refreshments and tasty bites on our stand!

A key challenge in Green Offshore Hydrogen production is maintaining the stability of the power system where the Hydrogen Production System is supplied from an Offshore Wind Park without a grid connection. Future wind farms dedicated to Hydrogen Production will not have grid connections and cannot rely on the grid to provide inertia and maintain grid stability. The low-inertia grid makes the system sensitive to disturbances which may lead to instability. 

H2SEA was asked by a client to develop solutions for the increasing need of offshore, off-grid system stability. Although future Wind Turbine Generators (WTG) are believed to be grid-forming, current WTG’s are not. 

Three potential solutions were developed by H2SEA and have been analysed in an Electro Magnetic Transient (EMT) study together with high voltage engineering specialist Enersynt.  

The preferred solution showed feasibility using conventional Wind Turbine Generators in a system with grid-forming converters and Energy Storage. Although H2SEA’s solution already works with a reduced Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the future ambition is to design without. 

H2SEA and sister engineering company Enersea, will continue its own research programme and research on behalf of clients to find smart and cost-saving solutions for offshore hydrogen production.  

H2SEA and sister company Enersea will be exhibiting together at the Offshore Energy Exhibition and Conference in the RAI in Amsterdam on 29 & 30 November.

Meet us in hall 1, booth 1.541 and we’ll be happy to update you on our hydrogen projects and initiatives.

During the past year, H2SEA has been awarded the feasibility study for the hydrogen platform concept design and engineering for the H₂opZee demonstration project. In this project H2SEA will advise on all aspects of the design considerations for electrical, processing, utilities, technical safety, structure and its effects on constructability and installation methodology.

Next to this, H2SEA has entered into an interesting partnership with a green hydrogen producer & supplier.

We would love to tell you all about it and see if we can be of assistance with your hydrogen project.

Consortium partners Neptune Energy & RWE, have awarded H2SEA the feasibility study for the hydrogen platform concept design and engineering for their H₂opZee demonstration project.

In H₂opZee, the feasibility of producing green Hydrogen at sea, powered by offshore wind is being investigated. Different scenarios for producing green hydrogen at sea will be explored, including options for transporting the green hydrogen to shore through a pipeline.

H2SEA will advise on all aspects of the design considerations for electrical, processing, utilities, technical safety, structure and its effects on constructability and installation methodology.

H2SEA’s sister company Enersea has been awarded with the pipeline concept design for the feasibility phase of this project.

Our first activities were initiated over two years ago and now we are proud to be represented at the first exhibition. Please visit us at the World Hydrogen 2022 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The Summit and Exhibition is organised in the Ahoy buildings located on the Ahoyweg 10 in Rotterdam.
