  • Sofia Ground Model Developed by NGI Not Confidential
    EV108 Sofia ground model developed by NGI Not confidential Sofia Offshore Wind Farm Limited 154 - Synthetic CPTs from Intelligent Ground Models based on the integration of geology, geotechnics and geophysics as a tool for conceptual foundation design and soil investigation planning CF Forsberg, T Lunne and M Vanneste Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, Oslo, Norway L James Forewind, UK/RPS, UK TI Tjelta Forewind, UK /Statoil, Norway A Barwise Statkraft UK Ltd. / RWE Innogy UK Ltd C Duffy Forewind, UK/Statkraft UK Ltd. Abstract Early phase soil investigation campaigns do not as a rule include all the locations where infrastructure is to be placed on the seafloor. However, background information on geology, bathymetric and seismic data may be available across the area at an early stage. The combination of these datasets thus provides the basis for devel- oping a ground model of the development area. The inclusion of geotechnical data in such ground models is not always straightforward since geotechnical properties may vary laterally and with depth. In this paper we present an "Intelligent Ground Model", developed at NGI, and used at several large wind farm projects. The model combines interpreted seismic horizons with geological understanding and acquired CPTU data to allow synthetic CPTUs to be generated at any location within the investigated area. In the Dogger Bank wind farm area, synthetic CPTUs were generated at numerous locations to guide initial evaluations of foundation require- ments and to group locations with similar synthetic profiles. The model was tested by removing known CPTU data from the database and comparing them to synthetic results from the same locations.

  • The Future UK Wind Energy
    Perspective The Future UK Wind Energy Wind energy trends Wind energy projects in the UK are entering a new phase. Turbines are getting larger, capacity greater, associated infrastructure more complex, regulations more challenging, and – for offshore developments – waters deeper. Royal HaskoningDHV has been working at the forefront of the wind industry since its inception, from early onshore wind farms and Round 1 offshore projects, to the giant offshore farms planned as part of Round 3. The UK currently leads the world in offshore wind development. Royal HaskoningDHV has expanded and shaped its experienced renewables team to handle the demands of this fast-paced wind industry. We make our experience count, and we offer an unrivalled service covering a wealth of specialist skills. Working alongside developers, from early site prospecting through to the construction and operational phase, has equipped Royal HaskoningDHV with the knowledge to provide expert solutions for challenging issues such as consenting, transport and logistics, health and safety – and many more. We are flexible, experienced, responsive, and ready to tackle new challenges as more ground-breaking projects are taken forward.

  • Zephir 300 Installed at UK Round 3 Dogger Bank Site with Forewind Consortium for Wind Resource Assessment July 2011
    ZephIR 300 installed at UK Round 3 Dogger Bank site with Forewind consortium for wind resource assessment July 2011 Leading wind resource assessment lidar ZephIR 300, a Natural Power product, has been deployed offshore by Forewind to provide wind measurement data for the Dogger Bank wind farm. The system has been installed successfully on RWE Dea UK’s gas platform 125km from shore and will provide wind speeds at heights from just 10m to 200m throughout the four‐year deployment. The Forewind consortium (RWE npower renewables, SSE, Statoil and Statkraft) have selected Natural Power’s ZephIR 300 to provide the first high‐quality wind data measurements in close proximity to the Dogger Bank Zone – the largest of the UK’s Round 3 zones with the potential for up to 13GW of installed capacity. The first of various consents required for the Dogger Bank project is anticipated around late 2014. Forewind Head of Engineering and Supply Chain, Mark Legerton said that the ZephIR 300 lidar will give data on the local wind characteristics for use in early site design activities. “It will also improve the evaluation of the overall project wind resource by enhancing the validation of local wind modelling,” Dr Legerton said. “The ZephIR 300 was chosen because it is a proven, reliable and safe technology, able to economically provide high quality wind data in an offshore environment,” he added. “The Dogger Bank project relies on innovative flexible solutions and close cooperation with suppliers. This successful lidar deployment is an example of this ‐ only made possible through Natural Power’s responsiveness and an excellent working partnership with the platform operator RWE Dea UK.” Ian Locker, ZephIR MD within Natural Power commented: “We are delighted to be supporting Forewind on this Round 3 project providing them with the quality wind data they require for taking the project through design and consent.
