Abstract

This Deliverable, 6.1 Renewable Correlation of offshore resources, aims to investigate the potential for correlation between parameters of different renewable energies.
The analysis is based on a first layer on coarse data, and will allow us to identify which resources have more “connectivity”. The resource assessment, even at coarse level, will indicate regions for further high resolution analysis, with better suited wind-wave-solar models. The correlation analysis is expected to showcase the potential of temporal overlaps by the different resources.
The Deliverable examines the overlap of stochastic conditions, the analysis will consider different “time windows” for the base resource, and assess its complementarity with other stochastic renewables. The aim of this deliverable is the estimation of overlap and production of mean maps that indicate to which extend each resource is connected. It is expected that the wind and wave resources will produce higher interest, due to their temporal variability. However, peak solar performance will also be analysed in terms of overlap with wind and/or wave.
