I learnt so much today. This was the first time I got to calculate and compare the cost of energy of different systems.

Learning about the cost of energy

On Wednesday, October 23rd, Water2Energy and Dutch Wave Power (DWP) hosted a masterclass at AVANS for 30 international students from Vilnius, Madrid, Vienna, and ’s Hertogenbosch, exploring Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE).

DWP co-founder Sten launched the session with an introduction to ORE and an overview of the Offshore For Sure project. Reinier then presented Water2Energy’s Vertical Axis Water Turbine (VAWT), followed by Sten’s presentation on DWP’s wave energy converter. Both speakers highlighted the unique designs and efficiencies of their technologies.

The session continued with a hands-on workshop led by Reinier and Sten on the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE), a crucial metric for evaluating renewable energy projects. In small groups, students tackled business cases centered on either the DWP wave energy converter or Water2Energy’s VAWT. A key takeaway was an “eye-opener” moment as students compared the LCoE of these technologies with the costs of solar panels for an average household.

This masterclass not only deepened technical understanding but also encouraged teamwork, inspiring students to explore new solutions in ocean renewable energy.

Offshore For Sure (O4S)

12/06/2023 - 11/06/2026

Hernieuwbare energie op zee krijgt een flinke impuls! 15 partners uit Vlaanderen en Nederland bundelen hun expertise in het Offshore For Sure-project om de energietransitie op zee te versnellen. Onze kusten zijn gezegend met een overvloed aan energiebronnen, waaronder getijden- en golfenergie. De ontwikkeling van een CO2-vrij energiesysteem met minder afhankelijkheid van gas is een vraag die speelt op lokaal, regionaal, nationaal en Europees niveau. En de regio moet uiteraard veilig blijven. Daarom is de behoefte aan integrale oplossingen voor klimaatmitigatie en klimaatadaptatie groot. Met toenemende installaties op zee is ook integrale aandacht voor cybersecurity van belang. Veelbelovende offshore energieoplossingen Vijf ontwikkelaars van energieoplossingen bundelen daarom hun krachten in Offshore For Sure (O4S), ondersteund door specialisten uit België en Nederland. Deze vijf demonstratieprojecten zijn innovatieve oplossingen van technologie ontwikkelaars met een track-record op het gebied van getijdenenergie, golfenergie, offshore drijvende zonne-energie en energieopslag.
