Eurowind Energy is building wind-solar capacity in five onshore energy centres and is also considering hydrogen electrolysis. The company revealed that each site will contain battery storage to provide grid services.
In total, more than 1 GW of installed capacity could be deployed, Eurowind Energy said.
Danish renewable energy company Eurowind Energy has announced plans to combine solar and wind turbines at five sites.
Several of the identified "energy centres" already have turbines. It will also add battery energy storage and hydrogen production facilities, and potentially add hydrogen refining and biogas facilities, the company said.
The company said it had submitted a planning application to install solar panels and deploy 26 wind turbines on 700 hectares of land in the Energipark Overgaard in the city of Landes. According to Eurowind, the site is the largest onshore wind farm in Denmark.
According to German 2020 prices, 700 hectares of land can accommodate about 630 MW of solar power generation capacity. The developer also purchased 375 hectares from landowners for solar development at the Energipark in Aalborg. The company said it is also adding a solar component to its plans for the second phase of its NrrekrEnge site in West Hemerland.
CEO Jens Rasmussen said: "Solar photovoltaics and wind turbines are always our starting point. The green electricity generated from this is used in other parts of the energy center. This part is already in place. We are also working with battery technology companies because in this way we Balancing services can be provided to the grid. We have tested the batteries and will be doing some testing at our facility in Greenlab Skive.”
Eurowind also quoted Rasmussen as saying that the company sees "electrolysis as part of all energy centers and mid-scale energy parks". The company also claims to be "relatively advanced" in introducing electrical X technology to the project.
