It is very probable that systems will continue to be installed bycompanies at sea in niche markets where the cost of electricity is high and the sea conditions are benign. It would also not be a huge leap to install a large system in a large, sheltered bay or port where the only difference from current systems floating on lakes is the sea water instead of fresh water. These systems could even be based on Ciel et Terre or similar technology which is designed for ponds and reservoirs but there is no reason it would not work in a sheltered bay or port where waves would never reach significant wave heights, say higher than 1 m. While it is not entirely clear where the Solar-at-Sea farm will be launched, the Netherlands certainly has that potential of utilizing sheltered areas of the sea which would not be in competition with other activities such as shipping, leisure and fishing.","PeriodicalId":212011,"journal":{"name":"Renewable Energy from the Oceans: From wave, tidal and gradient systems to offshore wind and solar","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130696652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
