Project details

Project description

The hybrid barrier is a compact, lightweight and flexible solution for controlling water. The system consists of a floating, lightweight-barrier that can stop the flow, block waves and store energy. Innovative force distribution technology allows the system to be made light, compact and durable. Explanation of technology: The water is held back by a floating barrier, supported by cables and ground anchors. As a result, apart from good tensile properties in the materials used, heavy raw materials are no longer required; up to 97% of the material, transport and CO2 can be saved. Energy Storage: The goal is to start with building a proto water-energy storage facility in the port of Scheveningen. The goal is to investigate how energy can best be stored. A combination of fall storage and weir storage can contribute to stable energy distribution. The combination of fall and weir storage ensures that the maximum yield is always available.

The problem we are solving

- Contribution of renewable energy, because energy can be upgraded on a large scale. - Contribution to employment in production, construction, maintenance and research. - Saving on costs incurred by the government in coastal protection, salinization. - Saving on subsidies that make sustainable energy possible.

Comments

After the components, application, technology and operation have been scientifically demonstrated and the concept has been adequately protected, it is possible to actively acquire customers. An early-stage investment is needed to demonstrate the concept. The power plant will mainly have to be made possible by politicians. With a system of 100KM2, it will be profitable, and at 250km2 it will be possible to generate between 1-4 Twatt / cycle off the coast of the Netherlands. The cost of the turbines is currently 80% of the total. We are trying to find out if we can find a partner that is capable of producing turbines based on superconductors, which will save weight and costs. The operation of the system is the same for all possible solutions. This makes the system versatile. The revenue model consists of energy storage, energy production, coastal defence, recreational facilities, protection of wind farms, buffering energy from wind farms, protection of floating wind farms, etc.

Technology readiness level

Sustainable impact on Blue Economy

We can produce 1-4Terra Watt of clean energy, with a system of 250km2 which results in an annual saving of 80 - 350 billion kg CO2, compared to fossil energy.

The hybrid barrier is a compact, lightweight and flexible solution for controlling water. The system consists of a floating lightweight barrier that can stop flow, block waves and store energy. Innovative force distribution technology allows the system to be made light, compact and strong enough. Explanation technology The water is held back by a floating barrier, supported by cables and ground anchors. As a result, apart from good tensile properties in the materials used, heavy raw materials are no longer required and up to 97% of material, transport and CO2 can be saved.
