  • Gravity-Based Foundations in the Offshore Wind Sector
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Review Gravity-Based Foundations in the Offshore Wind Sector M. Dolores Esteban *, José-Santos López-Gutiérrez and Vicente Negro Research Group on Marine, Coastal and Port Environment and other Sensitive Areas, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, E28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (J.-S.L.-G.); [email protected] (V.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 December 2018; Accepted: 24 January 2019; Published: 12 March 2019 Abstract: In recent years, the offshore wind industry has seen an important boost that is expected to continue in the coming years. In order for the offshore wind industry to achieve adequate development, it is essential to solve some existing uncertainties, some of which relate to foundations. These foundations are important for this type of project. As foundations represent approximately 35% of the total cost of an offshore wind project, it is essential that they receive special attention. There are different types of foundations that are used in the offshore wind industry. The most common types are steel monopiles, gravity-based structures (GBS), tripods, and jackets. However, there are some other types, such as suction caissons, tripiles, etc. For high water depths, the alternative to the previously mentioned foundations is the use of floating supports. Some offshore wind installations currently in operation have GBS-type foundations (also known as GBF: Gravity-based foundation). Although this typology has not been widely used until now, there is research that has highlighted its advantages over other types of foundation for both small and large water depth sites. There are no doubts over the importance of GBS.

Gatliff1 Rachel Helsby2, Alejandro J. Souza3, Peter D. Thorne3, Judith Wolf3 April 2009 1British Geological Survey Murchison House West Mains Road Edinburgh EH9 3LA [email protected] www.bgs.ac.uk 2Partrac Ltd 141 St James Rd Glasgow G4 0LT [email protected] www.partrac.com 3Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory Joseph Proudman Building 6 Brownlow Street Liverpool L3 5DA, www.pol.ac.uk 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study scopes research into the impacts and benefits of large-scale coastal and offshore marine renewable energy projects in order to allow NERC to develop detailed plans for research activities in the 2009 Theme Action Plans. Specifically this study focuses on understanding changes in sediment dynamics due to renewable energy structures. Three overarching science ideas have emerged where NERC could provide a significant contribution to the knowledge base. Research into these key areas has the potential to help the UK with planning, regulation and monitoring of marine renewable installations in a sustainable way for both stakeholders and the environment. A wide ranging consultation with stakeholders was carried out encompassing regulators, developers, researchers and other marine users with a relevance to marine renewable energy and/or sediment dynamics. Based on this consultation a review of the present state of knowledge has been produced, and a relevant selection of recent and current research projects underway within the UK identified to which future NERC funded research could add value. A great deal of research has already been done by other organisations in relation to the wind sector although significant gaps remain, particularly in long term and far-field effects.

  • Response From
    Agenda Item No. 5 Pieter Montyn E.ON Climate & Renewables UK Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport Rampion Offshore Wind Limited Cabinet Office Westwood Way Ground Floor Westwood Business Park County Hall Coventry West Midlands Chichester CV4 8LG West Sussex www.eon-uk.com PO19 1RZ Chris Tomlinson 01273 603 721 3 December 2013 07815 141 008 Dear Mr Montyn, Rampion Offshore Wind Farm Thank you for your letter dated 14 November 2013 seeking clarity on issues regarding the Rampion offshore wind farm. I respond to each issue in turn. 1. Benefits and facilities for local people The overarching benefits of the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm are to create safe, secure, clean energy to help secure our energy supplies and keep the lights on, while tackling climate change through reducing carbon emissions and creating jobs during construction and operation. In addition to these core benefits, our policy is to ensure that we are a good neighbour to the local community, to continue our track record on existing offshore wind farms of working with communities and supporting local projects and education initiatives. To achieve this, we will develop relationships with Sussex communities and consider the potential to provide initiatives through community benefits funds. Our plan to deliver community benefits is intended to support initiatives in those communities associated with the offshore and onshore elements of the Project. The exact geographical scope and distribution of such initiatives need to be very carefully considered in view of the spatial extent of the Project. We intend to consult the wider community through a number of existing communication channels that we established for the Agenda Item No.

  • Impact of Windfarm OWEZ on the Local Macrobenthos Communiy
    Impact of windfarm OWEZ on the local macrobenthos community report OWEZ_R_261_T1_20090305 R. Daan, M. Mulder, M.J.N. Bergman Koninklijk Nederlands Instituut voor Zeeonderzoek (NIOZ) This project is carried out on behalf of NoordzeeWind, through a sub contract with Wageningen-Imares Contents Summary and conclusions 3 Introduction 5 Methods 6 Results boxcore 11 Results Triple-D dredge 13 Discussion 16 References 19 Tables 21 Figures 33 Appendix 1 44 Appendix 2 69 Appendix 3 72 Photo’s by Hendricus Kooi 2 Summary and conclusions In this report the results are presented of a study on possible short‐term effects of the construction of Offshore Windfarm Egmond aan Zee (OWEZ) on the composition of the local benthic fauna living in or on top of the sediment. The study is based on a benthic survey carried out in spring 2007, a few months after completion of the wind farm. During this survey the benthic fauna was sampled within the wind farm itself and in 6 reference areas lying north and south of it. Sampling took place mainly with a boxcorer, but there was also a limited programme with a Triple‐D dredge. The occurrence of possible effects was analyzed by comparing characteristics of the macrobenthos within the wind farm with those in the reference areas. A quantitative comparison of these characteristics with those observed during a baseline survey carried out 4 years before was hampered by a difference in sampling design and methodological differences. The conclusions of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. Based on the Bray‐Curtis index for percentage similarity there appeared to be great to very great similarity in the fauna composition of OWEZ and the majority of the reference areas.

  • Analysing Changes in Electricity Industries Against Actors and Technologies: Utility to Business Transformations in Denmark, Germany, Finland and Spain
    Received February 28, 2012 / Accepted June 9, 2012 J. Technol. Manag. Innov. 2012, Volume 7, Issue 2 Analysing Changes in Electricity Industries Against Actors and Technologies: Utility to Business Transformations in Denmark, Germany, Finland and Spain Mari Ratinen1, Peter Lund Abstract Liberalization of electricity markets, governmental policies for renewable electricity and technology development are transforming national electricity industries. However, there are considerable national differences in how these industries have changed and which businesses have been developed. We propose a typology for comparing changes in electricity industry based on the changes in the actors and technologies. Wind power and solar photovoltaic are used here as technology examples. A qualitative analysis of the changes in electricity industries in four EU member states is presented. Based on the preliminary findings, we conclude that if the industry consists of many, small firms with relatively loose ties with the government the industry is more likely to change than if it consists of few large firms with strong relations with the government.

Kongedybet Hollænderdybet Middelgrunden Saltholm Flak 2 From Idea to Reality The idea of the Middelgrunden wind project was born in a group of visionary people in Copenhagen already in 1993. However it took seven years and a lot of work before the first cooperatively owned offshore wind farm became a reality. Today the 40 MW wind farm with twenty modern 2 MW wind turbines developed by the Middelgrunden Wind Turbine Cooperative and Copenhagen Energy Wind is producing electricity for more than 40,000 households in Copenhagen. In 1996 the local association Copenhagen Environment and Energy Office took the initiative of forming a working group for placing turbines on the Middelgrunden shoal and a proposal with 27 turbines was presented to the public. At that time the Danish Energy Authority had mapped the Middelgrunden shoal as a potential site for wind development, but it was not given high priority by the civil servants and the power utility.
