Spelen met Stroom(ing)

Startdatum: 2017-09-15
Einddatum: 2022-10-14
SDG's: Betaalbare en duurzame energie, Leven in het water

In het project Spelen met Stroom(ing) heeft een team onder leiding van lector Jacob van Berkel van de HZ onderzocht of getijdenturbines snel omgeturnd kunnen worden tot pomp. Dat heeft veel voordelen. "Is er overschot aan elektriciteit, dan kun je water oppompen en opslaan. Is er vraag, dan laat je het weer door de turbine stromen om elektriciteit op te wekken. Bovendien kun je overtollig water uit de delta pompen als de zeespiegel te hoog is."

Graduating student busy with taking sediment samples in the field.

Opening up the Grevelingen lake would form some nice opportunities. One of those is the addition of a tidal powerplant into the Dutch electricity network. This plant would focus on buying, storing and selling green power to the consumers and relief some of the stress on the Dutch power facilities. The project 'Playing with Currents' focusses on the feasibility of a tidal powerplant on this location while making economical and ecological benefits as the top priorities. During this project several different aspects of the possible changes in the lake's ecology will be investigated by several partners. Changes in water quality, biodiversity and biofouling are some of the topics that the project looks into. Building with Nature looks at the possible erosion rate of the lake's banks. With a set of lab experiments an erosion rate will be determined and the outcome will be used to create a prediction for the erosion changes that will happen after the opening of the lake.

Moreover, you can pump excess water out of the delta if the sea level is too high."
