In this edition he offers some tips on ‘Negotiating Pay and Contracts’. You may have heard this more than once: ‘Pay review? Chance would be a fine thing! My employer just wants to announce the increase (or lack of) at the beginning of the year or put a note in my pay packet’. Same for pay negotiations ‘no such thing – my boss decides or my union negotiates for me’.

And asking ‘how are things’ for them before don’t be like Oliver Twist. Don’t just say saying that you have ‘some concerns’ ‘more please’. Negotiating is different. It is you would like to discuss. Indicate not about asking, it is about trading. You that you ‘want to stay in the job’ but have something your employer wants; and you ‘need some clarity on your future the value of what is wanted has not yet prospects’. You can then get a discussion been agreed (with you). going about your future which could include eligibility for pay rises, bonuses, Tension and uncertainty could improved conditions and opportunities for work in your favour. development.

The Hierarchy of Risk Reduction Measures Not all measures are created equal...

In the last issue, Risktec continued its series of articles on risk management, by introducing the principle of ALARP: that risk must be reduced to a level which is “as low as reasonably practicable”. That article also discussed the process by which decisions can be made on whether or not to implement a given risk reduction measure.

This raises two questions: • What is the best way to identify potential risk reduction measures? • What criteria can be used to compare potential measures?

24 www.windenergynetwork.co.uk HEALTH & SAFETY

Intuitively some types of risk reduction measure will be “better” than others. In this instance “better” means more robust, provides a more inherently safe solution or a larger risk reduction.

This resourceful mouse looks likely to get the cheese, but surely there is a safer way of getting a bite to eat?

We can look at our multi- purpose “Tiger in Cage” example to illustrate this. Telling people to stand back from the cage and not to reach through the bars is a simple risk reduction measure. Adding a second barrier, such as a high metal fence, further from the cage itself would be a more effective risk reduction measure as it physically prevents people reaching the cage but would spoil the view of the tigers. Removing the tigers from the zoo is better still as it completely eliminates the hazard but obviously defeats the purpose of the zoo.

www.windenergynetwork.co.uk 25 HEALTH & SAFETY

The Hierarchy of Risk Reduction Measures CONTINUES...

The hierarchy of risk reduction measures presented as a staircase helps answer our two earlier questions – it not only shows which types of measure are considered to be “better” than others, but can also be used as a prompt to identify candidate measures.

When attempting to identify risk reduction measures, always start at the bottom of the staircase (try to eliminate the hazard) before moving to the next step. The further up the staircase, the less satisfactory the risk reduction measure. Of course, for any project, one or more of these types of measure may not be applicable, Applying the hierarchy • Eliminate - completely removing appropriate or available (for example, Let’s consider the example of a small wind turbines T1 and T2 from the clearly it is not appropriate to eliminate power development involving 6 turbines development would effectively the tiger from the zoo as this is central to on a piece of land adjacent to a residential eliminate the risk and no further its purpose).

Using our outside of the blade throw range staircase shown above, starting from or (b) significantly reduce the risk of the bottom, the available options may a blade strike event. Again, this may include: not be practicable economically, i.e. a turbine which doesn’t present such a large hazard range, may not generate sufficient power.

• Engineering - it may be possible to design a system which detects the early onset of blade failure (e.g. through vibration monitoring) which would trigger shutdown of the turbine. In this case, the reliability of this system would need to be taken into account in determining the risk reduction that would result if it were to be implemented.

Additionally, standards, codes of practice, legislation and general industry good practice will also indicate the risk reduction measures which should be in place or at least considered.

After almost eight years of planning, development and construction, the 317MW Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm in the Greater Wash, off the coast of North Norfolk, is in its final stages and on schedule to be fully operational by late summer 2012. Scira Offshore Energy The wind farm covers 35 km2 and, when complete, will have 88 turbines generating 1.1TWh per annum, enough to power around 220,000 British homes. Owned by Norwegian companies Statoil and Statkraft and operated by Scira Offshore Energy, the wind farm is the first of eight potential wind farms in the Wash.

Economic recovery It also looks set to kick start an economic recovery for an area with much seasonal employment and minimal long term job prospects for young people. The local Sheringham linchpin for Sheringham Shoal has been North Norfolk’s beautiful coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea. Shoal heralds It had a distinct geographical advantage when Scira was looking for a potential home for the operation and maintenance base of the wind farm – it was at least an hour closer to the site than the other harbour options. However its one major drawback was the fact it was inaccessible for much of the day due to tides.

Thorough local research and long term commitment The Scira team began work with the Wells Harbour Master and Commissioners A new around four years ago to determine whether the tidal challenge could be overcome and if the primarily fishing and leisure boat harbour could successfully also cater to the needs of the burgeoning local offshore wind industry. era for The result was a dredging initiative at the harbour entrance channel and the construction of a new commercial outer jetty with pontoons for which Scira and the Wells Harbour have signed an agreement confirming that the developer will use the North harbour as its base for up to 50 years.

While the depth of the channel will need to be maintained with regular dredging, the initiative has significantly extended the tidal window and enabled greater access for wind farm and other vessels.

ExxonMobil Helps Wind Turbine Operators to Generate Success ExxonMobil has been at the forefront Their fully synthetic lubricants and technical expertise has a proven track record of of developments in the wind energy operating effectively in some of the most demanding applications. This includes the largest sector for over 30 years, championing turbine models that are designed to feed energy to extensive power grids, with rotors up thought-leadership and best practice to 400 feet in diameter, churning up to six megawatts of electricity. As wind turbines are from the advent of the industry to often situated in remote environments, either onshore or far out to sea, there is no such its current burgeoning growth. The thing as a simple oil change or routine maintenance. Given these increasingly challenging company understands the challenges operational conditions, ExxonMobil recognises that maximising equipment performance Equipment Builder engineers and wind and durability is one of the most essential requirements for success. farm operators face. Their superior lubrication products and services Pioneering innovation and problem-solving can help to cost-effectively maximise In the mid-1990s the wind energy sector encountered a challenge of traditional oils causing wind turbine productivity by improving microscopic pits, ultimately shortening the life of the gear components. In collaboration equipment performance and reducing with a major gearbox manufacturer, in 1998 ExxonMobil delivered a synthetic solution to the need for maintenance. the problem – Mobilgear SHC XMP, the company’s first synthetic gear oil for wind turbines.

Proven in the wind sector Mobil Industrial Lubricants, a flagship brand of ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties has firmly established its reputation within the global wind energy sector for its accomplishments in research and development (R&D), close collaboration with the industry decision-makers and excellence of service. From its onset, their innovative wind lubricant technology and application expertise have been supporting this growing industry by reducing both maintenance requirements and operational costs. The Mobil-branded fully-synthetic lubricants are specifically formulated to overcome difficult operating conditions associated with offshore and onshore wind farms.

Engineer-friendly technology ExxonMobil’s global network of application engineers work from the initial design stage with turbine builders and other key component manufacturers to ensure the appropriate lubricant choice, depending on specific operating conditions. To develop its range of high quality lubricants, the company’s lubricant technologies undergo vigorous laboratory and rig testing before field trials commence.

44 www.windenergynetwork.co.uk COMPANY PROFILE

Today, Mobilgear SHC XMP 320 remains the initial-fill gear oil of choice for the majority of the world’s top wind turbine builders and is now being used to protect more than 30,000 wind turbine gearboxes worldwide. It is an excellent lubricant for gearboxes used in wind turbines because it exceeds the performance of conventional, mineral-based oils, with benefits including extending the interval between oil changes from 18 months to three years or more.

Fully integrated portfolio ExxonMobil’s offer goes beyond its portfolio of cutting-edge products to address lubrication holistically. Its application-based counsel and technical guidance enable customers to make informed decisions about lubricant selection and performance For example, to help operators navigate the broad portfolio of Mobil- branded oils and greases, ExxonMobil created Looble, a user- friendly, online industrial lubricant selector that provides targeted product recommendations with performance ratings based upon users’ specific industries, applications and equipment.

Pro-active approach to maintenance In addition, to help wind farm operators maximise productivity and extend oil drain intervals, ExxonMobil recommends incorporating an oil and equipment condition monitoring programme, as part of a pro-active approach to maintenance. ExxonMobil’s SIGNUM service was designed to help address any potential lubricant and equipment issues before any unscheduled downtime occurs. To obtain the greatest benefit from oil analysis, it is imperative to work closely with an expert lubricant manufacturer and participate in oil analysis typically every six months.

Best Practice in Action – An Example ExxonMobil Lubricants and Specialties, a division of Exxon Mobil Corporation, has expanded its lubricant supply and service contract with E.ON, one of the UK’s leading integrated power and gas companies.

After successfully introducing a range of Mobil Industrial Lubricants into E.ON’s Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) and coal-fired power stations, saving the company in excess of £1.4 million, ExxonMobil is now also focussed on optimising the lubrication performance of E.ON’s extensive wind farm operations across the UK.

“Over the last five years ExxonMobil has delivered a lot of value to our business,” said Chris Smith, Contract Performance Manager at E.ON Climate & Renewables. “It’s not just the range of high quality lubricants they provide, it’s the consultative approach they take to proactively identify cost saving and business improvement opportunities. Given the success the team has achieved to date, which has already gained them the E.ON Sustainability Award, we’re looking forward to working together to identify and deliver improvements to our wind farm operations.”

As wind grows as the most popular source of alternative energy, ExxonMobil continues to work closely with wind turbine companies to help advanced lubrication unlock greater operational efficiencies and reliability, supporting wind’s overall relevance as a viable fuel source.

New ROV launch and Human error It’s well recognised that the majority of ROV handling accidents are down to recovery system human error, so a system with smart safety designed to reduce operational downtime systems and a simple interface will reduce the risk for potential accidents. Løken A support vessel’s ROV system is a critical factor in marine engineering and highlights several unique software functions subsea construction work as it acts as the engineers’ underwater eyes and of the unique new E-LARS system that are arms. If there is ROV downtime caused by damage during launching, then designed to simplify ROV launching: operational efficiency can be severely affected. “The winch is set into ‘slave mode’ so the operator can concentrate on operating the handling unit, and the winch will follow automatically. Additionally, an anti-collision system avoids dangerous situations by ensuring that the handling unit does not collide with the hangar top, hangar port etc, whilst automatic pendulum dampening in the docking head on the A-frame also increases safety as it holds the ROV level during launch and recovery. We have also developed sophisticated solutions for ensuring the safety of the umbilical.”

Bolt Science specialises in solving problems

“When you can measure what you are speaking about, and can express it in numbers, you know something about it, but when you cannot express it in numbers your knowledge is of the meagre and unsatisfactory kind.” These are the words of Lord Kelvin from over 100 years ago but CONCRETE they are perhaps even more relevant today than when he first wrote them. CONNECTIONS Bolting problems With many bolting issues and problems it is only when facts are quantified that light is shed on the root cause.

Bolt tension: why? It is useful when assessing a bolting technique to remember why we pre-load bolts and what the dangers are... 3 reasons Let’s look at three of the reasons: to prevent loosening, to prevent joint slip and to increase fatigue resistance.

• Prevention of loosening – is critical • Fatigue resistance – is a key feature When we come back to looking at if the bolt is going to perform its other in renewable devices such as wind practical bolt tightening methods, the purposes. There are invasive methods; turbines and wave machines. The high issues show that we need the following wire-locking, locking washers; but and low frequency variation in the from the “tightening” method: these tend to impede the other environmental loading usually means purposes.

With the heavy items broken bolt! in use and the need to make or remake joints in difficult environments at low cost, closely fitted means of control such as pins or interference fits are not practical. However friction co-efficient is very variable so sufficient preload to allow for this is important. If you only had the friction to worry about, all bolts would be taken as close to failure as the tightening method error would allow, including yield.

The Risk Management Plan describes how the risk management practice is implemented on the project, roles and responsibilities, tools to be used and who is responsible for managing the process etc. The requirement is similar in principle to the objectives of the Project Execution Plan. Unfortunately a lot of projects choose to short cut this and jump straight to a risk register, without any accompanying process for the risk register.

Unfortunately a lot of projects don’t spend enough time and/or employ risk management too late in concept stages of a project, choosing rather to focus on scope definition. Scope definition and risk management are interrelated, so going light on one tips the balance.

Managing the renewable energy risk

An ever increasing global demand for energy combined with international commitments to reduce CO2 emissions has seen an exponential growth in renewable energy technologies which in turn, has created a wide range of new and unique risk and insurance considerations.

Complex technologies Top 5 reasons for claims Not only do renewable energy projects • Mechanical breakdown vary enormously in scale but the • Electrical breakdown technologies involved are developing • Lightning strike rapidly and growing in complexity. • Storm damage Often based in remote locations, these • Fire technologies are more exposed to natural catastrophes than standard property risks. Top 5 claims by component • Gearbox Research • Blade Wind turbine loss statistics, gathered • Generator by HSB Engineering Insurance, show • Electrical Cabling the diverse nature of the types of losses • Transformer associated with wind turbines. According to HSB, 42% of insurance claims handled HSB Engineering Insurance related to mechanical breakdown and HSB Engineering Insurance is a leading 19% to electrical breakdown, whilst specialist provider of engineering 23% of claims were the result of natural insurance and inspection services catastrophe, with damage caused by with extensive experience in providing lightning or storm. insurance cover for on-shore renewable energy risks around the world. Insurance Adequate cover policies are specifically designed with Such losses highlight the importance of the renewable energy customer in obtaining the right insurance cover to mind and provide cover for assets and protect these valuable assets. As well revenue during both the construction and as material damage to a wind turbine, it operational phases. is important to ensure that there is cover included for loss of revenue. Replacement HSB Engineering Insurance parts are often sourced from overseas and www.hsbeil.com can cause lengthy delays before a turbine is operational once again. e = See enhanced entry online When lightning strikes – a very real situation A claims example from HSB Engineering Insurance saw a lightning strike cause a wind turbine blade to shatter, putting the turbine out of action and unable to export electricity to the wind park transformer for onward exportation to the grid. HSB was able to source a spare blade and arrange delivery, thereby limiting the period the wind turbine was inoperable. A total claim of more than £52,000 was paid for the damage to the turbine as well as more than £11,000 for loss of revenue.
