中国石化新闻网讯 据海上风能网2月20日报道，挪威海洋能源测试中心(METCentre)与葡萄牙WavEC签署了一份谅解备忘录(MoU)，就海上风能开发进行合作。
本月早些时候，挪威海上风能组织挪威海上风能公司拜访了葡萄牙政府和行业代表，随后签署了该谅解备忘录。挪威海上风电公司代表了360多家公司，负责METCentre。
METCentre和挪威海上风电公司的经理阿维德·内斯（Arvid Nesse）表示，葡萄牙市场确实加快了速度，似乎是一个巨大的飞跃。
该国最近确定了海上风电开发领域草案，作为政府到2030年建设10吉瓦电网容量计划的一部分。
竞拍预计将于2023年秋季举行。
内斯表示，“与此同时，挪威正在推进我们的海上风电项目。我们两国有许多相似之处，海上风电公司需要密切合作，而这份谅解备忘录是重要的第一步”。
WavEC为风电场开发商提供商业服务，并且是Agucadoura试验场的股东，该试验场一直是海上可再生能源技术开发的试验区。
内斯补充道：“这是RDI海上风电项目的核心，可以为挪威公司提供一个在大西洋演示和测试其解决方案的平台。METCentre和WavEC都拥有领先的测试和演示资产，具有不同的环境、海洋和天气特征。这些资产使两个试验场之间产生了巨大的协同效应。”
挪威石油和能源部计划到2023年第一季度末招标Utsira Nord和南北海II期第一阶段的海上风电区。
在南北海二期，挪威将在第一阶段授予1.5吉瓦的海上风电装机容量，并在第二阶段的晚些时候再授予1.5吉瓦。在Utsira Nord，将于2023年在三个500兆瓦的装机地点总共授予1.5吉瓦。
WavEC首席执行官Marco Alves表示，“我们将共同致力于共同感兴趣的项目，在合作文化中促进知识、经验和能力的共享，我们认为这对加速该行业的发展并最终加快能源转型的步伐至关重要”。

Norway and Portugal Bolster Offshore Wind Ties
The Norwegian Marine Energy Test Center (METCentre) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Portugal-based WavEC to collaborate>The MoU was signed after Norway’s offshore wind organisation, Norwegian Offshore Wind, visited the Portuguese government and industry representatives earlier this month. Norwegian Offshore Wind represents more than 360 companies and is responsible for the METCentre.
Arvid Nesse, the manager of METCentre and Norwegian Offshore Wind, said that the Portuguese market has really picked up the speed to what appears to become a grand take-off.
The country has recently identified draft areas for offshore wind development as part of the government’s plan to award 10 GW of capacity that would be grid-connected by 2030.
The auction is expected to take place in autumn 2023.
“At the same time, we in Norway are moving forward with our offshore wind projects. Our two countries have many similarities that call for a close collaboration between offshore wind companies, and this MOU is an important first step,” said Nesse.
WavEC provides commercial services for wind farm developers and is a shareholder of the Aguadoura test site, which has been a testing area in the development of offshore renewable technologies.
“They are central in RDI projects>Norway’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy plans to tender Utsira Nord and the first phase of the Southern North Sea II offshore wind areas by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
At Southern North Sea II, Norway will award 1.5 GW of offshore wind capacity in the first phase and a further 1.5 GW at a later date in the second phase. At Utsira Nord, a total of 1.5 GW will be awarded in 2023 across three 500 MW sites.
“We will jointly work on projects of common interest, where we can promote the sharing of knowledge, experiences and competences in a culture of collaboration that we believe to be essential to accelerate the development of the sector and eventually the pace of the energy transition”, said Marco Alves, CEO at WavEC.
