Abstract

Offshore energy hubs are moving from ideas in academic studies to reality, with Denmark going ahead with a hub or an island in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. With multi-GW installations planned per hub, they can provide for the expected electricity consumption increase driven by electrification and sector coupling. Large-scale wake losses can be significant, and they get larger as hub size increases. Hub size impacts also the variability of the hub's generation. It is argued that these impacts are significant and should be considered in energy system optimisation. However, the high capacity factors achieved in far-offshore energy hubs still make them attractive in highly sector coupled future scenarios.
