Northern Gas Networks HyCoRe programme

In collaboration with Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, Kinewell Energy are delivering a Hydrogen Cost Reduction ( HyCoRe ) programme on behalf of Northern Gas Networks funded by Ofgem’s strategic investment fund (SIF). Using KDOTS alongside KLOC, the project has improved understanding around integration between offshore wind and electrolysis to create green hydrogen. In particular, the project focused on the optimal placement of infrastructure, such as electrolysers and energy storage.

The work conducted by Kinewell Energy has evidenced the value that subsea junction boxes can deliver to floating wind farms under a range of innovative network configurations. The project team uncovered additional learning around floating wind design decisions, that we will take forward and deploy in our global floating offshore wind farm portfolio.

Kinewell’s software will allow us to look at ways of optimising the layout of our inter array cables and Offshore Substation (OSPs) locations at an earlier stage of the design, giving us the opportunity to find potential cost savings in multiple areas of the project reducing our Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE).
