HydePoint

A complete solution for receiving, converting, and transmitting the full energy potential from offshore wind farms

Offshore wind

Technologyconcept/solution:
HydePoint is providing a solution to optimize the value of offshore wind farms by allowing for large scale offshore hydrogen production, contributing significantly to reduced green-house gas (GHG) emissions in the future energy mix.

A HydePoint is an offshore hydrogen producing substation, which can utilize wind resources efficiently and allow new wind farms to be located where the wind resources are strongest, even though the grid infrastructure is poor or missing. It is an unmanned, modularized, and industrialized platform which can be delivered both to floating or bottom fixed wind farms, and it can convert wind power fully or partly to hydrogen. If a HydePoint is connected to an onshore grid, it can also help balancing the overall power systems, and improve the total energy system utilization.
