Integrated Processing Platform (IPP) is one of the cornerstones for this project. The platform is envisioned to host all the relevant equipment for hydrogen production and to potentially serve as an offshore energy hub that will integrate offshore wind and other energy infrastructures. The overall design procedure for the IPP is as shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: Flowchart for methodology of integrated processing platform (IPP).
There are three main stages for the design procedure. The first step is to investigate the concepts for offshore hydrogen production and to select one that is appropriate. This is followed by benchmarking and eventually selecting an optimal platform configuration for further development. The last step is to design the platform itself. Table 1 below shows all the relevant sub-pages within this website with regards to the IPP.
