Energy hub Sample Clauses

Energy hub. In Task 6.6, a methodology for hazard identification, risk estimation, risk evaluation and risk treatment will be described and applied to equipment and operations used for the different systems involved in the energy hub. These include the wave energy converter, electrochemical storage system and wind turbine. For each hazards a risk assessment will be applied by considering the probability of failure to occur, and the severity of its consequences. The HSE inventory report in Space@Sea Deliverable 2.1 (2018) outlines relevant standards and regulations for offshore accommodation modules. The HSE inventory report describes all HSE related issues that are strictly considered while designing the energy hub. Main issues are:  Sufficient number of personnel to detect possible accidents and incidents in time;  Boat landing area coated with wearing/slip-resistance material;  Lifesaving equipment like life boats are easily accessible;  Adequate fire protection, fire extinguishing gas and fire alarms are properly installed;  Safe escape routes are designed;  Clearance around all electrical and machinery equipment to minimize long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields;  Large cabins for additional persons in the case of an emergency;  Prohibition signs are clearly marking overall working areas;  Qualification of personnel working on the hub will meet HSE requirements. Improvement in HSE related issues and saving number of trips required reinforces the definition of the energy hub. Living@Sea For living conditions, other requirements apply in comparison to working conditions. Not only safe, but also comfortable living standards need to be fulfilled in order to make floating island suitable for human inhabitation. The aim is to develop new technology that enables a more permanent living/working environment, that is safe and comfortable. Within the work package, several hazards were identified and described in Deliverable 7.2 (A catalogue of technical requirements and best practices for the design). Here, the main safety issues from Deliverable 7.2 are briefly described. In case of offshore living spaces (placed on living islands – Space@Sea), hazards are:  occupational accidents;  fires;  structural failure (quite rarely);  collisions with ships;  extreme weather. A major issue is fire safety which is identified, as the largest hazard for offshore operations. Fires on board can be of different sources/placement: electrical fires; accommodation fires; h...

Energy hub. The use of floating island constructions as an ‘energy hub’ could involve the following:  The floating island constructions may be provided with energy converters to harvest the relative motion between the outer ring of modules. There are no emissions from this type of renewable energy production during normal operation. However, hydraulic oil is used for the converters which could be released into the aquatic environment in case of damage to the constructions or technical failures. Oil dissolved in the water is quickly dispersed to concentrations below the acute toxicity level, but it can be taken up by organisms and affect their physiology, behaviour, reproductive potential and survival (OSPAR, 2010). In case such a spill reaches the aquaculture site, it could cause mortality among the culture or cause failure of meeting product standards as a result of accumulation of spilled substances in the body tissue of cultured organisms.  The floating island constructions may be provided with an electrochemical storage system (rechargeable batteries) in combination with super-capacitors. There are no emissions expected during normal operation. However, in case the energy storage system requires heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning this could be a source of noise emission. The emission of noise may affect growth and condition of aquaculture animals (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2019). Furthermore, in case of a major accident resulting in sinking of the construction the energy system could end up in the aquatic environment releasing the chemicals used for electricity storage. Chemicals used for batteries are e.g. sodium sulfur, lead oxide or lead acid, and lithium iron phosphate. In case such chemicals reach the aquaculture site, it could cause mortality among the culture or cause failure of meeting product standards.  Living quarters for workers, see 4.2.2.

Customer shall offer PMPA and/or Utility a first right of refusal before selling or granting to any third party the right to the Green Attributes associated with its customer-owned renewable generation that is interconnected to Utility’s electric distribution system. The term Green Attributes shall include any and all credits, certificates, benefits, environmental attributes, emissions reductions, offsets, and allowances, however entitled, attributable to the generation of electricity from the customer owned-renewable generation and its displacement of conventional energy generation.

  • Electric Storage Resources Developer interconnecting an electric storage resource shall establish an operating range in Appendix C of its LGIA that specifies a minimum state of charge and a maximum state of charge between which the electric storage resource will be required to provide primary frequency response consistent with the conditions set forth in Articles 9.5.5, 9.5.5.1, 9.5.5.2, and 9.5.5.3 of this Agreement. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the physical capabilities of the electric storage resource; (5) operational limitations of the electric storage resources due to manufacturer specification; and (6) any other relevant factors agreed to by the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Developer. If the operating range is dynamic, then Appendix C must establish how frequently the operating range will be reevaluated and the factors that may be considered during its reevaluation. Developer’s electric storage resource is required to provide timely and sustained primary frequency response consistent with Article 9.5.5.2 of this Agreement when it is online and dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. This excludes circumstances when the electric storage resource is not dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or dispatched to receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. If Developer’s electric storage resource is charging at the time of a frequency deviation outside of its deadband parameter, it is to increase (for over-frequency deviations) or decrease (for under-frequency deviations) the rate at which it is charging in accordance with its droop parameter. Developer’s electric storage resource is not required to change from charging to discharging, or vice versa, unless the response necessitated by the droop and deadband settings requires it to do so and it is technically capable of making such a transition.
