法國SolarinBlue公司已獲得印度政府的許可，在芒格洛爾市附近的阿拉伯海建造一個1MWp的海上太陽能發(fā)電場。

SolarinBlue通過其位于印度的子公司SolarinBlue Energy，計劃在距離海岸10公里的地點建造一個1MWp的海上太陽能發(fā)電場，靠近印度第七大港口所在地芒格洛爾市。
海上太陽能發(fā)電場計劃在19米深的場地開發(fā)，總占地面積為200乘200米。
據(jù)SolarinBlue稱，已經(jīng)與iDecK合作進行了初步研究，首批機組的組裝可能在2024年第一季度之前開始。
芒格洛爾海上太陽能項目將為芒格洛爾電力供應公司(MESCOM)提供電力，幫助實現(xiàn)每年超過1.5GWh的發(fā)電脫碳，相當于7000多戶家庭的用電量。
海上太陽能全球市場前景
浮動光伏太陽能將在未來幾年得到強勁發(fā)展。SolarinBlue表示，由于海洋能源的投資成本最低，距離海岸3公里范圍內(nèi)，符合條件的地點的潛力在數(shù)十吉瓦。
根據(jù)國際自然保護聯(lián)盟(IUCN)的數(shù)據(jù)，由于世界上60%以上的人口，即38億人，生活在海岸線150公里以內(nèi)，消費潛力已經(jīng)存在。
這項技術還發(fā)現(xiàn)了與海上風電場的自然協(xié)同作用，無論是底部固定的還是浮動的，有了這種協(xié)同作用，連接的共同化將成為可能。光伏和風力發(fā)電受益于有利的重疊，太陽能在夏季和反氣旋條件下發(fā)電更多，而風力發(fā)電在冬季發(fā)電更多。
SolarinBlue指出，它正在考慮大規(guī)模的同地開發(fā)前景——未來五年將超過20GW。該公司預計，分擔連接和海上變電站的成本也將進一步降低海上風能和太陽能的成本。
需要提醒的是，SolarinBlue最近推出了據(jù)說是法國第一個海上太陽能發(fā)電場，作為Sunète項目的一部分。該項目的最終版本將增至25臺機組，總裝機功率為300kWp，并為塞特港的基礎設施提供可再生電力。

SolarinBlue, through its India-based subsidiary SolarinBlue Energy, plans to build a 1MWp offshore solar farm at the site located 10 km from the shore, near the city of Mangalore, which is home to the seventh largest port of India.
The offshore solar farm is planned to be developed at site with 19 meters depth, occupying a total surface area of 200 by 200 meters.
According to SolarinBlue, preliminary studies have been conducted in cooperation with iDecK and assembly of the first units could start before the first quarter in 2024.
The Mangalore offshore solar project would provide electricity to the Mangalore Electricity Supply Company (MESCOM), helping to decarbonize electricity generation for more than 1.5GWh per year – the equivalent of the electricity consumption of more than 7,000 households.
Global market prospects for offshore solar
Floating photovoltaic solar energy is set to develop strongly in the coming years. Thanks to the lowest investment cost of marine energies and a zero visual impact from 3 km away from the coast, the potential of eligible sites is in the tens of GW, SolarinBlue said.
The potential for consumption is already there as more than 60% of the world’s population, or 3.8 billion people, live within 150 km of coastlines, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
This technology also finds a natural synergy with the offshore wind farms, whether bottom-fixed or floating, with which mutualization of connections will be possible. Photovoltaic and wind power benefit from a favorable overlap, with solar power producing more in summer and in anticyclonic conditions, and wind power in winter.
SolarinBlue noted it is looking at massive co-location development prospects – over 20GW over the next five years. Sharing the costs of connection and offshore substations will also further reduce the cost of offshore wind and solar, the company expects.
To remind, SolarinBlue recently launched what’s said to be the first offshore solar farm in France as part of the Sun’Sète project. The project will grow to 25 units in its final version for a total installed power of 300kWp, and supply renewable electricity to the infrastructures of the Port of Sète.
