Description
Auto-translated from GermanBy 2045, at least 70 gigawatts of wind energy are to be installed in the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and 300 GW in the entire North Sea by 2050. The expansion of offshore wind energy can be associated with impacts on the marine environment. At the same time, the state of the marine environment is assessed as predominantly poor, so that the expansion of wind energy at sea must not cause further deterioration. It is therefore a political goal to make the expansion of renewable energies compatible with nature. To exploit the potential for generating renewable energy at sea in a nature-compatible and at the same time economically profitable manner, diversification of methods and combinations of renewable energy sources are required, in addition to the further development of individual technologies, given the increasing scarcity of space (BSH 2021, 2024), whereby economic and nature conservation concerns must be taken into account equally. The project therefore pursues the overarching goal of showing ways and defining conditions, developing recommendations and concepts for economically attractive and at the same time nature-compatible wind turbines (WEA) and offshore wind farms (OWF) designs, as well as combinations with other production methods for renewable energy at sea. Based on an analysis of current technical standards for WEA and OWF design and an identification of the relevant goals and affected parties in species and nature conservation, new WEA and OWF designs and possibilities for combination with other production methods for renewable energy at sea are identified and compared with each other and with conventional methods regarding economic efficiency and nature compatibility. From this analysis, recommendations and evaluation criteria are formulated that support future decision-making for the type of plant, OWF design, and combinations with other production methods for renewable energy for specific site conditions.
