Deutsche Windtechnik Achieves a New Milestone: Maintenance for Siemens SWT-3.6 at the Riffgat Offshore Wind Farm Press Release Press Release Contact Karola Kletzsch Corporate Communications Telephone +49 421 69 105 330 Mobile +49 172 263 77 89 E-Mail k.kletzsch@ deutsche-windtechnik.com Bremen 25.04.2019 Page 1/3 Deutsche Windtechnik achieves a new milestone: Maintenance for Siemens SWT-3.6 at the Riffgat offshore wind farm Deutsche Windtechnik has been awarded the contract to provide maintenance for 30 Siemens SWT-3.6-120 wind turbines at the Riffgat offshore wind farm as part of an EU tender procedure that was initiated by EWE Offshore Service und Solutions GmbH (EWE OSS). The contract begins in June 2019. The two companies have been working together closely for more than two years at the offshore wind farm alpha ventus, and their cooperation will now continue at the Riffgat offshore wind farm as a result of the EU tender. The contract includes basic maintenance, troubleshooting, remote fault elimination, spare parts management, maintenance of safety equipment and testing of electrical equipment in accordance with DGUV V3. This makes Deutsche Windtechnik, which operates independently from manufacturers, the first ISP (Independent Service Provider) in the world to provide maintenance for Siemens SWT-3.6 turbines. "We are very pleased to be able to provide the service for this great system technology. Utilising synergies and planning for the long-term enable operators to save significant costs with us. This also applies to the Borkum Cluster that EWE OSS is planning. Deutsche Windtechnik is an optimal service partner that delivers customised added value from Borkum/Emden to customers who are active in the Borkum Cluster," said Jens Landwehr, Managing Director of Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore und Consulting GmbH. By the year 2021, several hundred turbines with an output of almost 6,000 megawatts will no longer be covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. Martin Swart, Senior Manager of the Engineering Department for Siemens turbines at Deutsche Windtechnik Service, added: "Our comprehensive experience with nearly 4,000 wind turbines on land, including more than 700 wind turbines with AN Bonus / Siemens technology, and our many years of offshore experience mean that we are also well equipped for turbine maintenance at sea. In addition to providing maintenance for the turbines, we are also responsible for any repairs and the replacement of large components." Prospects for a growing partnership in the Borkum cluster The Riffgat offshore wind farm, which was built by EWE in 2013, is the first commercially operated wind farm in the German North Sea. In addition to its own offshore activities, EWE also makes its expertise in the construction and operation of offshore wind farms and substations available to international customers. "Deutsche Windtechnik has comprehensive experience in providing technical maintenance for wind turbines. This perfectly complements our own strengths, and the EU tender is enabling us to jointly and cost-effectively promote offshore wind energy north of Borkum. We would be willing to look into including further offshore wind farms north of Borkum in our service cooperation in the future," said Dirk Warnecke, Head of Asset Management Wind Offshore at EWE Offshore Service & Solutions GmbH.

Germany (German Bight North Sea): ± 6.5 GW • Wide port entrance: suitable to transport assembled United Kingdom ± 10 GW three-bladed rotors • No infrastructural restrictions sail in/out of big material (power lines, bridges, locks, etc.) • Near quay jacking GOALS 2030: • Heavy load quays; 30 tons/m2 | 20 tons/m2 | 10 tons/m2 Netherlands (west & northern coast): ± 11.5 GW • Limited tidal range (2.5 m.) Germany (German Bight North Sea): ± 20 GW • Approx. 90 hectares offshore sites available United Kingdom: ± 30 GW FOLLOW THE ENERGY Around a third of all the energy that is produced in the Netherlands comes from Eemshaven. With an installed capacity of 8,000 MW Eemshaven is known as an energy port. Major energy producers have invested billions of Euros in new power stations; an oil terminal was built; Google is expanding its immense data centre; and Eemshaven houses the largest onshore wind park in the Netherlands. The port also plays a prominent role in the development of wind parks at sea during their construction and the subsequent maintenance of the wind turbines. Eemshaven lives and breathes offshore wind and has become one of the leading ports in the offshore wind industry around the North Sea. The arrival of the heliport makes Eemshaven’s position in the offshore wind sector even stronger and also the completion of the COBRAcable.

  • Capacity Densities of European Offshore Wind Farms
    CAPACITY DENSITIES OF EUROPEAN OFFSHORE WIND FARMS Report conducted by Deutsche WindGuard GmbH Foreword The Baltic Sea faces an increasing spatial demand for human activities. In particular offshore renewable energy is a quite new interest with a considerably high demand on sea space. In light of climate protection policy some countries have set national energy targets for offshore wind. For the implement- tation of these targets the offshore wind energy sector competes with other uses on limited space. Baltic LINes aims at achieving greater transnational coherence for inter alia energy infrastructure in the Baltic Sea Region in order to ensure efficient and sustainable use of the Baltic Sea space. One of the questions to solve in this context is the extent of sea space that is required to install a certain capacity of offshore wind energy and related decisive factors for this so called capacity density of offshore wind farms. To address this issue the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, BSH, has tendered a study dealing with the prospective capacity density of European offshore wind farms. The present study has been conducted by the German consultancy Deutsche WindGuard GmbH. The study developed under work package 2 “Sector trends and requirements for MSP” concentrates on two key questions: . What mean capacity density (MW per km²) can be assumed for future offshore wind farms? . How do different national regulatory frameworks influence capacity density? This report covers the following sections: The study results serve as input for the report on energy scenarios for the Baltic Sea under work package 2 by analysing future conditions for MSP as well as a relevant input for the planning criteria report under work package 4.2.
