Supply Chain for Round 3 Offshore Wind UK Market Study 2011 A common initiative with Preface Strong Norwegian competence lies within the offshore sector and stems from more than 100 years of maritime shipping and North Sea oil and gas activities. The fine-tuned capabilities are now transferred to the offshore wind sector for technology and services conceptualisation. Companies developing the North Sea wind resources could benefit from the lessons learned in Norway and add complementary expertise in order to achieve their targets. In order to inform the Norwegian offshore industry participants about the opportunities in the two most important markets for offshore wind competence, Innovation Norway and INTPOW – Norwegian Renewable Energy Partners have collaborated to commission two studies - Offshore Wind Germany and Offshore Wind UK, both inspired by the two Norwegian Offshore Wind Clusters Arena NOWand Windcluster Mid-Norway. In order to promote the Norwegian offshore wind capabilities, Norwegian Renewable Energy Partners – INTPOW and Innovation Norway have also commissioned a market Study and mapping of the emerging Norwegian offshore wind supply chain. Innovation Norway Innovation Norway promotes nationwide industrial development profitable to both the business economy and Norway‟s national economy, helps to release the potential of different districts and regions by contributing towards innovation, internationalisation and promotion. Norwegian Renewable Energy Partners - INTPOW INTPOW promotes the Norwegian renewable energy industries internationally and facilitates partnerships between Norwegian and international industry participants, including in offshore wind. It is a non-profit joint venture between the Norwegian renewable industry and the Norwegian Government.

In the UK, we are strongly committed to significant growth in climate smart energy solutions, particularly offshore wind. Vattenfall has invested over £3 billion in UK wind power since 2008 and, as of early 2018, we operate more than 1GW of installed capacity with more than 4GW of onshore and offshore wind in development over the next decade. Currently, the electricity export for two of our British offshore wind farms is managed by Offshore Transmission Owners (OFTOs): the 300MW Thanet wind farm (Thanet OFTO Limited) and the 150MW Ormonde wind farm (TC Ormonde OFTO Limited). As a result of this, and our development activities, we have gained extensive experience of the OFTO regime. We would like to use the opportunity of this open letter to express serious concerns about the income adjusting event (IAE) policy as well as more general concerns about the OFTO regime. Vattenfall understands the justification for the OFTO regime at the point it was introduced. This was a time when the value of OFTO assets were comparatively small and the regime for developing offshore wind (the Renewables Obligation) did not feature a competitive element putting downward pressure on prices.

  • Offshore Wind Turbine Installation Analyses
    = Offshore Wind Turbine Transportation & Installation Analyses Planning Optimal Marine Operations for Offshore Wind Projects EMRE URAZ Master Thesis Visby, Sweden 2011 Offshore Wind Turbine Transportation & Installation Analyses Planning Optimal Marine Operations for Offshore Wind Projects Master Thesis by Emre URAZ Master Thesis written at Gotland University, June 2011, Department of Wind Energy Supervisor: Richard Koehler HGO, Department of Wind Energy Examiner: Dr. Bahri Uzunoğlu HGO, Department of Wind Energy Abstract Transportation and installation of offshore wind turbines (Tower, Nacelle and Rotor) is a complete process conducted over several phases, usually in sequence. There are several factors that can turn this process into a challenge. These factors can either be due to offshore site conditions or the technical limitations of the installation vessels. Each project has its own characteristic parameters and requires a unique optimum solution. This paper identifies the dynamics of the installation process and analyzes the effects of each phase on the progression of events. The challenges in wind turbine installations due to offshore environment were investigated, the effects of each were explained and their significances were stressed. Special installation vessels were examined and their technical specifications were analyzed in terms of working conditions, dimensions, service performances, and crane capacities as well as projecting future design trends. Several offshore wind farm projects were analyzed; their installation methods were specified, and compared to each other to determine advantages and disadvantages of different pre-assembly concepts. The durations of the sub-phases of the process were defined in terms of different variables such as site conditions and individual vessel performance. These definitions were used for making time estimations, and conducting further analyses regarding the effects of different site specific parameters on the overall project duration.

  • An Analysis of Offshore Wind Farm SCADA Measurements to Identify
    An analysis of offshore wind farm SCADA measurements to identify key parameters influencing the magnitude of wake effects Niko Mittelmeier1, Julian Allin1, Tomas Blodau1, Davide Trabucchi2, Gerald Steinfeld2, Andreas Rott2 2 and Martin Kühn 5 1 Senvion GmbH, Überseering 10, 22297 Hamburg, Germany 2 ForWind – University of Oldenburg, Institute of Physics, Küpkersweg 70, 26129 Oldenburg Correspondence to: Niko Mittelmeier ([email protected]) Abstract. For offshore wind farms wake effects are among the largest sources for losses in energy production. At the same time wake modelling is still associated with very high uncertainties. Therefore current research focusses on improving wake 10 model predictions. It is known that atmospheric conditions, especially atmospheric stability, crucially influence the magnitude of those wake effects. The classification of atmospheric stability is usually based on measurements from met masts, buoys or LiDARs (Light Detection and Ranging). In offshore conditions these measurements are expensive and scarce. However, every wind farm permanently produces SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) measurements. The objective of this study is to establish a classification for the magnitude of wake effects based on SCADA 15 data. This delivers a basis to fit engineering wake models better to the ambient conditions in an offshore wind farm. The method is established with data from two offshore wind farms, which have a met mast nearby each. A correlation is established between the stability classification from the met mast and signals within the SCADA data from the wind farm. The significance of these new signals on power production is demonstrated with data from two wind farms with met mast and long range LiDAR measurements.

  • Monitoring Offshore Wind Farm Power Performance with SCADA Data and Advanced Wake Model
    Monitoring offshore wind farm power performance with SCADA data and advanced wake model Niko Mittelmeier1,Tomas Blodau1, Martin Kühn2 1Senvion GmbH, Überseering 10, 22297 Hamburg, Germany 5 2ForWind – Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Ammerländer Heerstraße 136, 26129 Oldenburg Germany Correspondence to: Niko Mittelmeier ([email protected]) Abstract. Wind farm underperformance can lead to significant losses in revenues. Efficient detection of wind turbines operating below their expected power output and immediate corrections help maximise asset value. The method, presented in this paper, estimates the environmental conditions from turbine states and uses pre-calculated look-up tables (LUTs) from 10 a numeric wake model to predict the expected power output. Deviations between the expected and the measured power output ratio between two turbines are an indication of underperformance. The confidence of detected underperformance is estimated by detailed analysis of uncertainties of the method. Power normalisation with reference turbines and averaging several measurement devices can reduce uncertainties for estimating the expected power. A demonstration of the method’s ability to detect underperformance in the form of degradation and curtailment is given. Underperformance of 8% could be 15 detected in a triple wake condition. 1. Introduction To increase confidence in offshore wind energy investments, investors need reliable wind turbines. The two pillars of system reliability are operational availability and the ability to achieve predicted power performance. In wind industry, the common standard IEC TS 61400-26-1 (2011) defines different categories of turbine conditions and describes the calculation of 20 availability. However within this standard the “Full Performance” category requires only the status of not being restricted in power production but there is no verification of the quality of the power performance.
