Welcome to the spring 2015 issue of Wind & Wave Connect, a quarterly publication available online at www.windandwaveconnect.co.uk as well as in print format. Following the recent Chinn Review, we talk to Siemens’ Director of Strategy and Government Affairs Matthew Knight about UK supply chain development (page 4). We also hear how rapid developments in IT and communications are transforming developers’ ability to keep track of their projects during construction and O&M (page 16). If you’ve wondered how operators manage their fleets of turbines across the UK, RWE Innogy provide insight into operations from their control centre in Swindon on page 36. Sally Shenton of Generating Better explores on page 20 the potential opportunities for sites to share O&M resources and services through greater collaboration and clustering. On page 26 Cardiff University describe how the MEDOW consortium is contributing key expertise on the manufacturing, design, operation and control of multi-terminal DC grids. Aonghais Cook of the British Trust for Ornithology highlights on page 52 key findings from a recent study on bird collision avoidance rates, and ongoing work to develop an improved collision risk model. The Energy Institute provides an update on the G9 Offshore Wind H&S Association (page 48). And Burges Salmon explore the issues around managing knowledge sharing while protecting designs, on page 50. On page 22, Robin Francis of Arthur D. Little examines the strategies major players have used to strengthen their positions. John Massey of Green Power Academy looks at the role of metrics in the realm of policy-making and subsidies (page 28). Hudson Bell of Utiligensia asks on page 38 how the incoming CfD subsidy regime will affect the growth of the UK’s offshore wind industry. On page 40, David Price of EPConsult Energies discusses asset management systems. And on page 46 David Casale of cleantech merchant bank Turquoise International explains how the relationship between the value of ‘black gold’ and investment in renewable technology is perhaps not as straightforward as we might first think. Louis Verdegem of Bosch Rexroth provides an update on WavePOD, a collaboration project to develop a standardised power take-off system (page 30). Jee Ltd outline on page 32 the Marine Energy Array Cabling Solution Development Project aimed at accelerating development of effective solutions for a critical tidal energy array-related technical challenge. And Supacat describes how it is engaging with the industry to develop its vision for a fit-for-purpose tidal turbine handling device that will help the drive towards safety and cost reduction (page 34).

Q&A: MATTHEW KNIGHT, SIEMENS ENERGY

BEYOND THE CHINN REVIEW: DEVELOPING THE OFFSHORE SUPPLY CHAIN

Words: Penny Hitchin

In May 2014, Michael Fallon and Benj Sykes, co-chairs of the Offshore Wind Industry Council, invited Matthew Chinn, MD of Siemens Energy UK, to review the current state of the UK offshore wind supply chain. The objective was to consider what industry and Government can do to support the development of the UK supply chain in order to capture maximum economic benefit from the UK’s offshore wind deployment.

supply base to secure its future and to realise the benefits for the UK economy and society as a whole.”

It ought to be possible for Government to signal with greater clarity the direction without picking winners.

needs to act quickly if we are to grasp this opportunity, not just for UK projects but to prepare for a future broader market in goods, exports and expertise.” Recommendations focus on: the need for clarity on the long-term market, including a 2030 emissions target for the power sector; consistent messaging from UK Government;

The independent review set out to: examine the scale of the opportunity for the UK supply chain from offshore wind; understand the supply chain’s current capability and readiness to compete; and

explore key barriers. Matthew Chinn said: “The UK offshore wind sector needs a thriving

The review, published in November 2014, includes recommendations about actions that could make a difference in the near term and help deliver cost reduction and UK jobs and investment. Significant capital investment is required to develop serial production facilities in the UK but investment is currently hindered by uncertainty over the long-term policy and budgetary framework. After conducting the review Matthew Chinn said: “The industry

governments, developers and the supply chain working together to help new market entrants; actions on commercial issues, including bonding. The main barriers that industry raised are: the need for clearer visibility and volume in the order pipeline and market;

Q&A: MATTHEW KNIGHT, SIEMENS ENERGY

OWIC met and accepted the recommendations in November and gave some actions to the Programme Board. OWIC meets at the start of March, when I expect they will review progress. During this time industry has also been distracted by the Contracts for Difference auction process, which has been extended due to a challenge by one of the applicants. Once that is completed various players in UK will be considering their strategy. Hopefully the Chinn recommendations will help as they consider the direction longer-term.

What would you like to see Government do?

the difficulties facing new entrants with no track record in offshore wind; challenges posed by the way risk is dealt with through the supply chain; the need to move towards a culture which better enables collaboration to bring about efficiencies; and the need for a clearer support landscape. Wind & Wave Connect talked to Matthew Knight, Director of Strategy and Government Affairs for Siemens Energy, who was involved in preparing the Chinn Review.

It is a few months since the Review was published. How has it been received? The Offshore Wind Industry Council meets three or four times a year with the Secretary of State and in between work is done by the programme board, which is chaired by Adam Bruce of Mainstream Renewable Power.

WWW.THECONNECTSERIES.CO.UK | SUBSCRIBE ONLINE

The first and biggest recommendation is that Government should do everything it can to make its intentions clear. The lack of clarity of direction is the biggest barrier to investment in the supply chain in the UK. Government feels it should not pick winners: it should let the market decide various things. But there is a difference between saying all things are completely and equally possible and therefore you can’t predict anything and narrowing things down a bit by saying actually we think the UK is headed in roughly this direction and therefore the following actions would be sensible. We want Government to give a better sense of direction rather than the current position, which is to avoid giving direction at all costs and preserving options that don’t exist. Also, I would certainly like to see carbon targets for 2030 set in 2016. This would be a key element in giving a clear signal to the whole energy industry.

we need offshore wind, gas or nuclear, which leaves all those industries uncertain. It would not hurt to say we are going to need all of them. I think Government could do everybody a favour by coming up with a central scenario of the energy mix by 2030. It could be couched as most likely, or this is the way we think we are headed. It doesn’t have to be a target or set in stone.

What is needed to encourage investment in UK manufacturing for offshore wind? At the moment DECC publish three main scenarios: one of which has nuclear totally dominant; one of which has carbon capture and storage dominant; and one of which has very strong offshore wind. None of these three is a likely or credibly scenario. In the case of offshore wind, if Government came out clearly and said it’s somewhere around 25GW by 2030, that would help everybody to plan. It would give a clear sign that we need to build so many GW per year for the next years. Instead what they do is to say each year we think we need 1.5GW but won’t say how much they need in following years. We could follow this pattern until 2030 but if we only ever have one year’s worth of visibility it will all be built by overseas players. There is no long-term clarity for the UK that will allow us to build an indigenous industry. Investment in manufacturing plant needs a 15-year timescale. Current visibility extends until 2019. We need something beyond this.

What signals is the industry getting from Government?

Campaigning for the election in May is underway. How is this affecting investment decisions?

Currently, politicians are ahead of the civil service. DECC says we must leave everything to the market, whereas politicians recognise that some parts of the market don’t work and they must do something. It’s OK to intervene. It ought to be possible for Government to signal with greater clarity the direction without picking winners. It is not unreasonable for Government to say we probably need more offshore wind and probably 25–30GW by 2030. At the moment they are saying they don’t know if

A gas power station takes two parliaments to develop and build. It will then operate for seven parliaments. What the energy industry needs is long-term stable policies with far-sighted vision – almost the opposite of what will come out of an election campaign. Energy policy will probably end up fairly similar whoever forms the next government, but in terms of politics of an election, sound bite politics does not help long-term policy or investment.

INDUSTRY NEWS

CONTRACTS FOR DIFFERENCE AUCTIONS BEGIN

The Government is making an extra £25m of funding available in world leading auctions for low carbon support, following high levels of demand for contracts. The auctions, which started on 29th January, will see only the most competitive projects receive contracts – helping to drive down the cost of renewables support. Projects are set to compete for £325m in support from new Contracts for Difference (CfDs) – an increase of £25m from the budget published in October. This year’s CfD budget is split between technology categories, enabling both established and

less established technologies to access support. The extra funding will increase the amount available for less established technologies, such as offshore wind and some biomass technologies, to £260m. This will help to bring forward a diverse mix of low carbon energy supplies to help build a new generation of clean, reliable electricity supplies. CfDs aim to provide long-term certainty for investors, designed to drive investment in a new generation of clean, secure electricity supplies.

The projected spend of the budget remains within the Levy Control Framework, which caps the costs to consumers of Government energy policies. The budgets for next year’s auction will be confirmed this autumn, but £50m more has already been indicated for established technologies. Further funding is planned to be available for CfDs for renewables and carbon capture and storage in future years, rising to over £1bn in 2020/21. The increase comes after the budget was increased for both categories in October 2014 (an additional £15m for pot 1 for established technologies and an additional £80m for pot 2 for less established technologies). This budget is in addition to the substantial amounts of support for low carbon already being spent under existing schemes (the Renewables Obligation and small-scale Feed in Tariffs) as well as funding for the eight projects awarded Investment Contracts in April 2014 under the FID Enabling for Renewables process.

MHI VESTAS OFFSHORE WIND HIRING FOR OVER 200 JOBS MHI Vestas Offshore Wind has commenced recruitment of over 200 skilled jobs at the recently announced blade manufacturing facility on the Isle of Wight, where manufacturing of 80m composite blades for the V164–8.0MW will ramp up to serial production. The new positions have been created in order to fulfil the demand for DONG Energy’s 258MW Burbo Bank Extension project, off the coast of Liverpool Bay, as well as potential future offshore projects. CEO Jens Tommerup said: “We are extremely pleased to be able to announce the commencement of hiring over 200 full time jobs at our manufacturing facility on the Isle of Wight. These new jobs are skilled and form a critical aspect of our manufacturing capability. When serial production begins in May, MHI Vestas Offshore Wind will be the only manufacturer producing blades for offshore wind projects in the UK.” “The 80m blades for the V164-8.0MW prototype were designed, manufactured and tested at the Isle of Wight facility. We have developed the unique competences and processes necessary to manufacture blades at the centre which makes it an ideal

location to ramp up to serial manufacturing.” MHI Vestas Offshore Wind received a firm and unconditional order for 32 V164-8.0MW turbines for the offshore Burbo Bank Extension project in Liverpool Bay earlier in February. The 258MW order placed by DONG Energy covers supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a five-year full-scope service contract. The decision to manufacture blades on the Isle of Wight was announced in November last year and is the first part of a wider industrial strategy in the UK which is expected to result in up to £200m worth of investment and safeguarding or creating up to 800 jobs. MHI Vestas Offshore Wind will lease the production hall at Vestas’ blades technology centre on the Isle of Wight. Serial production of blades will commence in May 2015. UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey said: “Our long-term economic plan to build a more resilient economy has made the UK the world’s number one market for offshore wind, attracting investors from all over the world and creating green jobs. Today’s

commitment from MHI Vestas of 200 new green jobs will lead to blades being mass produced in the UK, bolstering the UK’s expertise in advanced manufacturing.”

BRITISH INDUSTRY AT HEART OF TIDAL LAGOON TURBINE PRODUCTION General Electric and Andritz Hydro have been appointed as preferred bidders to the £1bn Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon infrastructure project. The two companies, bidding together for the ~£300m contract to supply 16 bidirectional turbines to the world’s first tidal lagoon power plant, have committed to a majority of British large turbine components, to British generators, and to the operation of a dockside Turbine Assembly Plant in Wales that will employ an initial 100 skilled workers. The turbines will be based on well-proven Andritz Hydro global technology. GE, one of the UK’s leading overseas investors, will play a critical part in this first-of its-kind project, manufacturing and assembling key components in the UK. The project’s 16 generators – the highest value component in the 700 tonne turbines – will be produced at GE’s Rugby facility, sustaining employment and investment there. In addition, GE is working on plans to potentially re-shore its medium voltage switchboard operations for the UK tidal lagoon industry at its Kidsgrove facility. This could create further UK jobs and position GE well for further tidal opportunities in the UK. GE and Andritz Hydro will now conclude British supply contracts for turbine and generator components. Industrial facilities in Swansea Bay, Pembrokeshire, Monmouthshire, Carmarthenshire, Mid Glamorgan, Vale of Glamorgan, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Merseyside, South Tyneside, Greater Manchester, North Lincolnshire and Cumbria Courtesy of Tidal Lagoon Power

are among those seeking to secure contracts. Working with the Welsh Government, Tidal Lagoon Power, developer of the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon, has shortlisted three potential sites in the Swansea Bay City Region (comprising Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire) for a 100,000 square foot Turbine Assembly Plant that will scale operations as the sector develops at home and internationally. Initially employing 100 skilled workers and capable of shipping one 7.35m diameter runner turbine a month, the facility is expected to scale operations by six times by 2018, shipping at least one turbine a week as the UK moves to the construction of full-scale tidal lagoons. Tidal Lagoon Power intends to follow the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon, scheduled to commence construction later this year, with five full-scale tidal lagoons in UK waters. Between them, the six projects could provide 8 per cent of the UK’s electricity for the next 120 years. Last year, a report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research found that the emergence of a global tidal lagoon industry could present an export industry valued at £70bn to the UK economy. General Electric and Andritz Hydro have also been selected as preferred bidders for the £25m contract to manage the operations and maintenance of the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon power plant for a minimum of five years.

SCOTTISH RENEWABLES ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION Words: Hannah Smith Policy Officer, Offshore Renewables at Scottish Renewables

The end of 2014 saw huge changes in Scotland’s offshore renewables sector, and 2015 is shaping up to be another important year for the industry. Renewables are now the largest contributor to electricity generation in Scotland, with green energy becoming Scotland’s principal power source during the first six months of 2014.

All Scotland’s commercial-scale offshore wind projects have planning consent, and now await the outcome of the first round of the CfD allocation process. That process will provide the first batch of projects with revenue support, and will also begin to offer some certainty for the supply chain companies hoping to work on their construction and through two decades of operation and maintenance. The last few months have been difficult ones for Scotland’s wave energy sector. The loss of Pelamis Wave Power and the downsizing of Aquamarine Power highlight that the sector remains in the R&D phase. But all is not at sea: the Scottish Government has reaffirmed its commitment to the sector through the creation of Wave Energy Scotland, a body which will run research, development and innovation programmes to create a pathway to commercial performance. Scotland’s tidal sector has also seen

CONSTRUCTION OF ONSHORE FACILITIES STARTS AT MEYGEN SITE Contractors have now begun the construction of a 340 meter access road at Atlantis’s MeyGen tidal stream project, marking the start of all onshore construction at the site, a preparatory stage which will pave the way for the 398MW tidal array to be built offshore. ABB is the principal contractor for all onshore construction of the MeyGen project and has appointed local Caithness family business John Gunn & Sons Ltd to construct the access road. Onsite welfare facilities will be installed as well as the road, which will allow for the Horizontal Directional Drilling to commence close to the foreshore as well as prepare the ground for the Power Conversion Unit Building foundations (PCUB). The road is expected to take three months to build, with all onshore construction expected to be completed over the next 12 months. The MeyGen project is the largest planned tidal development project in the world at 398MW total installed capacity when fully constructed. Situated in the

Pentland Firth, the MeyGen array will consist of 269 submerged tidal turbines, enough to power 175,000 Scottish homes. In Phase 1A of the project, four submerged turbines generating 6MW will be installed in the Inner Pentland Firth just north of Caithness, with first power expected to be delivered in 2016.

some significant developments, notably with the MeyGen tidal stream project phase 1 reaching financial close and now progressing to build. As we work, both in Scotland and across Europe, to reach our ambitious targets on renewable energy and climate change, the future of offshore renewables in Scotland has never been more important. Plenty to discuss, then, at Scottish Renewables’ Annual Conference in Edinburgh on 24th – 25th March. The event, which will be held at the EICC, will look at finance, the energy system, technology & cost reduction and examine what the changing face of renewables means for consumers, communities, planners and the public sector.

HALFWAY ON WESTERMOST ROUGH Sea Challenger achieved an important milestone at the end of January as turbine number 18 was installed on DONG Energy’s Westermost Rough project. “The installation of turbine number 18 went according to plan, safely and smooth. The cooperation between the crew on board SEA CHALLENGER and the installation teams from Siemens Wind Power and DONG Energy is working very well. From the project team, we are very satisfied,” says Project Manager Morten S. Pedersen from A2SEA. Sea Challenger is continuing to install the remaining 17 turbines on the 210MW offshore wind farm located 8km off the Yorkshire Coast, north of Hull and approximately 25km north of Spurn Head at the river Humber estuary. When finished the offshore wind farm will be able to provide electricity to power around 200,000 homes.

ACCELERATING THE APPROVAL OF OFFSHORE ENERGY PROJECTS A team of European experts, led by Robert Gordon University (RGU), are to look at ways of accelerating and streamlining the environmental requirements associated with consents for offshore wind, wave and tidal projects. The RiCORE project has been awarded €1.4m from the European Commission’s competitive Horizon 2020 programme and comprises teams from Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France and Scotland. The 18-month project will aim to tackle one of the key barriers to the deployment of offshore energy – consenting and environmental impacts. According to Project Coordinator, Professor David Gray from RGU: “Offshore energy projects have the potential to make a significant contribution to our energy security. However, they are not being brought on stream as quickly as hoped. Part of the problem is the time and costs

involved in gaining environmental approval.” While Governments and the public are rightly concerned about the potential environmental impacts of offshore energy projects, the survey costs involved in carrying out full environmental impact assessments, and collecting data over two to three years, can be prohibitive particularly for low-risk or time-limited deployments. RGU are leading the project on behalf of the Offshore Renewables Institute, a collaboration between RGU and the Universities of Dundee and Aberdeen. The project partners are: RGU; Marine Scotland; Beaufort, University College Cork; WavEC (Portugal); AZTI-Tecnalia (Spain); and E-CUBE Strategy Consultants (France). RiCORE will run between 1st January 2015 and 30th June 2016.

The Blade Leading Edge Erosion Programme (BLEEP), a collaboration between ORE Catapult, wind farm owner/ operators, wind turbine manufacturers and academics at world-leading research institutes, will coordinate industry-wide initiatives to reduce the adverse impact of blade leading edge erosion (LEE) on the operational performance of offshore wind turbines. The programme will seek to quantify the magnitude of LEE by investigating its effect on wind turbine blade efficiency and structural integrity. In addition, by studying the fundamental physics underpinning (LEE) failure by experimental and computational methods, ORE Catapult intends to apply that knowledge to: improve and de-risk techniques for LEE protection and repair; develop an independent UK-based facility for erosion testing to assess the performance of current solutions (materials, coatings, etc); and standardise the evaluation of new erosion protection and repair technologies.

Improving undersea cable performance

Purpose-built within a 6,000sqft industrial unit, the new centre features a 15 metre long climbing and rescue platform with 12 stations incorporating vertical fall-arrest safety systems, a mock nacelle and three technical engineering areas. These facilities recreate the field conditions found on real wind turbines enabling AIS to deliver realistic skills training and ultimately ‘work-ready’ personnel. The centre also includes three state-of-the-art classrooms equipped with the latest Wi-Fi enabled IT systems and a central relaxation area. 12 new jobs will be created at AIS as a result of the project. The campus sits alongside AIS Training’s existing 150,000sqft offshore training complex so that delegates can learn all the mandatory skills, including sea survival, emergency evacuation and boat transfer, in the one location. Delegates will also have access to AIS’s new hotel and restaurant.

Another collaboration, between the ORE Catapult and GnoSys Global Ltd, a Guildford-based technology innovation company, and power cable manufacturers and users, is supporting the development of a new generation of polymer blend-based cables to provide greater insulation, improving electrical connection reliability and increasing energy to power conversion. New, more reliable electrical connections are needed to meet the growing demand from the UK’s offshore renewables networks and Smart Grids for cables that can deal with larger and more variable current loadings. This follows a successful Innovate UK-funded project led by GnoSys Global and the University of Southampton called SUSCABLE. Partners involved in further developing SUSCABLE include National Grid and Scottish Power as users, leading cable manufacturers, and the University of Southampton and GnoSys Global as research providers.

KEEPING TRACK OF COMPLEX LOGISTICS FOR OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS Words: Penny Hitchin

any vessels are involved in the construction of offshore wind farms (OWFs). They ply to and from different ports, taking personnel and supplies out to sea and installing the foundations, turbines, substations and infrastructure needed to generate and transmit electricity back to shore. Keeping track of the locations of the various boats, structures and people is critical for safety and efficiency. Early OWFs consisted of a relatively small number of turbines installed close to shore and monitoring was done on a fairly manual basis. The relatively small scale of operations meant that project and marine coordinators could track plans for vessel movements via a whiteboard whilst paper-based systems such as T cards could be used to monitor personnel. As OWFs have grown in volume and complexity, developments in technology, electronics and communications have transformed the range of options for monitoring and recording offshore activity. Just as in a wide range of industries, management software enables people to share information and collaborate on multi-faceted, complex projects. OWF construction and management now benefit from a range of tracking and monitoring devices and data sets.

Development of specialised software

SeaPlanner is a suite of online software modules developed by renewable consultancy SeaRoc Group Ltd which can be used in managing offshore sites. The software pulls together data from a range of sources and presents it in a web-based front end, giving the entire project team access from internet-enabled devices. The company says it has been used on two out of every three UK offshore turbines. It is

also being used at the Meygen tidal turbine development. Manager Dominic Stratton describes the origin of the software developed to track and monitor offshore activities to ensure site safety. “About seven years ago we saw the opportunity to build a software system where we could integrate AIS vessel feeds covering the location of vessels, site assets and location of infrastructure such as cables, turbines and substations and pull that together with information about personnel present on the vessel at the time.”

“Bringing in any feed available and pulling all the information together through the web means everyone can be really well informed and make the best decisions possible.” With a background in data management and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) he saw the opportunity to bring together the range of data that various companies compiled so that it was available to the entire project team. “Often with GIS software you need expensive licences and training. What we wanted to do was to make it easy to use through the web and to give the whole project team access to the information. It is not just about one marine coordinator sitting at his desk knowing where the vessels are. It is about letting the whole project team have access to the disparate information.”

Modular approach offers clients flexibility The initial modules were vessel movements and a personnel schedule database. Since then the software has been expanded so that clients can add various additional components as and when they like. Integrated modules cover a host of functions: all aspects of operations, personnel, records, environment and HSE. One example of a function is an alert system for cables or anchor points. Dominic explains, “We can set up audio and visual alerts. For instance, we have guard zones around cables. In this way when vessels are near installed power cables the project coordinator can be warned, giving them the opportunity to prevent damage which could lead to months of repair work and costly downtime.” A recent addition is the Inductions Manager module, which enables clients to offer online inductions to any contractor due to start working on the site. Completing this module online ensures that all required information is collected before the contractor arrives at the project and it can replace up to two days of training. New contractors can upload personal details and certification, watch a site safety video and then answer questions to ensure they have watched and understood it. They can also print out their ID cards so they are ready to start work on the project as soon as they arrive on site. Dominic explains, “We have developed different ways of tracking personnel. We have taken ID cards and made them into RFID swipe cards a bit like an oyster card. There is a tablet on the vessel and the contractor swipes it as they get onto or off the vessel and then as they arrive at other locations, such as turbines.” The information about personnel whereabouts is sent back to the

FEATURE: SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

SeaPlanner server, which tracks them around the whole site, which is invaluable in the event of an emergency or if the need to evacuate the wind farm arises. The in-house team are always enhancing the product and current development includes extending the metocean module, which already takes in site-specific feeds for wave buoys and meteorological devices, to include weather forecasts and lightning strikes. Utilising information about site conditions will enable more intelligent operation of the site. As Dominic says, “Bringing in any feed available and pulling all the information together through the web means everyone involved in the project can be really well informed and make the best decisions possible.”

Advances in communications herald new possibilities Small, near-shore OWFs can use mobile phone network dongles or the wind farm infrastructure to communicate. As sites go further offshore, alternative technology is required. Interfacing with pioneering new technology on the market has enabled SeaPlanner to offer various new ways to track personnel and assets even in the most remote locations. Dominic explains, “Our personnel tracking system can now be used

WWW.THECONNECTSERIES.CO.UK | SUBSCRIBE ONLINE

worldwide via low-cost satellite communications. Satellite communications has been available for years but this has always been very expensive. Last year a new satellite device came to market and we trialled low-cost iridium modems. The device has a very low bandwidth but as we are only sending small amounts of data it operates effectively for personnel tracking.” Using iridium modems means that the software can operate without relying on existing wind farm communications infrastructure and the system can work in locations where there is no coverage from terrestrial 3G and 4G networks. Other new technology being used by SeaPlanner includes tags on an armband or attached to a belt for which can be used to track individuals around the wind farm via low-cost geographical positional systems (GPS). The tags can also be used to track vessels and other high-value assets offshore and onshore to enable complete project management. The offshore renewable energy industry has come a long way in a very short time. Rapid developments in hardware, software and communications are transforming developers’ ability to keep track of their projects during construction and operations and maintenance.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR SUCCESS

Words: Sally Shenton Director, Generating Better Ltd

ake a helicopter out to an offshore oil platform and you may end up sitting next to someone from a different company thanks to a collaborative initiative within the UK oil and gas sector called Flightshare which facilitates joint usage of helicopters and even holds records of people using them to ensure safety requirements are efficiently managed. Flightshare is managed through LOGIC, a not-forprofit subsidiary of Oil and Gas UK. Owners of telecommunications cables can join a club created by the industry to ensure repairs are delivered quickly. The Atlantic Cable Maintenance and Repair Agreement (ACMA) is a non-profit cooperative subsea maintenance agreement consisting of 60+ members and has been in existence for over 49 years. These are examples of industry sectors which have identified cost reduction and performance improvements that are brought about by working together. More specifically they have seen the need to organise themselves to enable collaboration to be possible.

The beginning: Coming together It is generally accepted that to enable collaboration, all parties must see a benefit and it is also important to create trust and a willingness to share expertise. Some form of governance and organisation is also essential to provide sufficient resources to sustain any agreed initiatives. Strong leadership and finding the right people to work with is also vitally important. Collaboration is the new watchword in offshore wind and especially in the operations and maintenance (O&M) phase. Everyone is talking about it and there are some early examples of increased collaboration, but it requires

more than talk to bring about sustained practical actions to reduce cost or increase power production.

Collaboration to date in offshore wind O&M The ORE Catapult has established an O&M Forum for offshore wind farm (OWF) owners which continues to meet and progress projects to share knowledge and consider new ways in which collaboration can be used to reduce risks and costs. The industry saw a successful jack-up vessel share for offshore maintenance on the east coast of the UK in 2014 and owners of OWFs are now discussing ways to develop this concept of collaborative jack-up vessel chartering further following a study published by The Crown Estate in 2014.

There is potential to create spare parts pools, undertake joint subsea surveys, share the results of environmental monitoring, share jackup vessels and other specialist vessels. There have also been a number of Joint Industry Projects which have important elements for O&M, most notably work to improve access systems, which is being led by the Carbon Trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Offshore Wind Accelerator Programme; the Structural Lifecycle Industry Collaboration (SLIC); and the SPARTA project (System Performance, Availability and Reliability

Trend Analysis), which is a major collaborative project between ORE Catapult, The Crown Estate and OWF owner/operators.

What can collaboration offer in the O&M phase? There are lots of ways that OWF operators can collaborate in the O&M phase, especially where wind farms are clustered together. There is potential to create spare parts pools, undertake joint subsea surveys, share the results of environmental monitoring, share jack-up vessels and other specialist vessels. This can reduce mobilisation time and cost, improve repair times and reduce costs. Other solutions may be driven by the supply chain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to offer a spare parts delivery service to a cluster of wind farms to improve turbine repair times and reduce fuel usage, increased sharing of pools of technicians and spare parts refurbishment clubs. Specialist services such as endoscope inspection, foundation inspection and statutory

FEATURE: O&M

inspection could also be clustered around groups of wind farms offering improved response times, lower costs and the ability to respond to favourable weather windows for maintenance.

Keeping together: Barriers to overcome But what of the barriers to collaboration? Take a walk down the quayside at Barrow, Ramsgate or Grimsby and you will see multiple offshore wind operational buildings. This is a very visible indication of the growth of offshore wind O&M clusters – which offer improved opportunities for wind farms to collaborate more actively in the operational phase because of their proximity and share operational port. However each morning dedicated vessels set off to each wind farm providing a service to that specific wind farm even if they are only partly full. Some of the barriers relate to ownership and governance arrangements, others arise from the contracting strategy and contract

wording, especially during the warranty phase – some of which is locked in relatively early in the development lifecycle. Whilst some great work has been done to create common H&S standards for the wind industry, there are still areas which lack commonality. Contracts are another area where more mature industries have worked together to create standardised contracts – and this may be an area where future work could drive out further value. Finally, access to relevant information is a key requirement to enable collaboration opportunities to be identified and delivered. The SPARTA benchmarking initiative is one example which may help in this area. Knowledge transfer into the wind industry from other areas has already been identified as a cost-reducing strategy. The wind industry could make engineering data more widely available and facilitate a more innovative approach to open up the industry to

different expertise and facilitate new collaborative opportunities. This ‘open source’ approach has been used successfully in many other industries to increase gold extraction, create new pharmaceutical products, and develop new IT innovations by exploiting know-how from a wider range of suppliers, often in unrelated sectors. Henry Ford once said that “Coming together is a beginning; Keeping together is progress; and Working together is success”. Over 500 offshore wind turbines are now out of their initial warranty period including warranties ending on three large wind farms in December 2014. With increasing focus on reducing the Levelised Cost of Energy there is a growing realisation of the role that collaboration can play during the O&M period. The initial steps already taken to develop collaborative working arrangements put the industry in a good position to work together successfully to secure the benefits that will flow as a result.

espite strong industry growth, the past few years have been challenging ones for the wind industry. A combination of slowdowns in some of the major markets, production overcapacity, reduced subsidies and the financial crisis caused margins to be depressed and a number of businesses to run into difficulty. However, the last couple of years have seen a turnaround by some of the major players, as new technologies have expanded the range of market opportunities and new business approaches have strengthened financial performance. In this article we review the current state of the industry, examine the strategies major players have used to strengthen their

positions, and draw some lessons regarding key factors for success.

Strong growth, but tough times for players in recent years… The growth of the onshore and offshore wind industry over the past decade has been a stellar success story, with global installed capacity growing almost sevenfold between 2004 and 2013 (see Figure 1.) As a result, wind power is now an established and significant part of the energy mix of many countries. Nevertheless, as Arthur D. Little explained in its 2012 report, ‘Two Realities for Renewables’, such strong growth does not necessarily translate into profitable operations for companies along the value chain. Indeed, the wind industry in the period 2009–2012

provided a salutary example, as new entrants and over-exuberant plant additions caused industry overcapacity and falling margins. Notable examples of the challenges this caused established players included: Vestas, which plunged from a profitable position pre-2011 to a loss of €963m in 2012, during which time its share price fell by more than 90 per cent; Gamesa and Goldwind, which both reported operating losses in 2012 and had to instigate severe costcutting measures; Suzlon Energy, which reported a sales fall of greater than 10 per cent and a ~-25 per cent net margin in FY 2012/13. As we outlined in our report, the reasons for these challenges are varied, but the main themes were: Fierce intra-industry competition, overcapacity, and margin pressure – Companies racing to take advantage of market growth built capacity too quickly, resulting in a glut of equipment and strong decreases in price.

… but recent renewed strength for many major players Despite the difficulties referred to above, over the past couple of years a new story has emerged – that of renewed strength for many of the major players. Although challenges remain for some, the years 2012–2014 have seen a significant turnaround in fortunes, with many of the leading players repairing their financial performance and facing the future with renewed confidence. Vestas is perhaps the banner child for this, as it returned to profitability in 2014 on the back of renewed strong sales growth, but others, such as Goldwind and Gamesa, have also returned to operating profits in 2013/14. Other major players, such as Siemens and GE Wind, which weathered the storms of 2008–2012 well, have also continued to build on existing strengths and grow revenues while remaining profitable.

Strategies for success What are the secrets to these companies’ success, despite continuing pressure from the factors described above? Analysis by Arthur D. Little suggests that there are five main strategies that companies have adopted:

Decreasing and unpredictable legislative support – Subsidy regimes can change suddenly and unpredictably, making it difficult for companies to plan for the long term.

Lean, efficient operations (‘focus and rationalise’) – Focusing on operational and manufacturing efficiency in the company’s core operations, commercial excellence.

Failure to innovate – Companies that failed to keep innovating and launching new products came under pressure as competitors launched newer and better products.

Growth in adjacent market areas (‘adjacent expansion’) – Growth into new geographies and market segments, development of larger turbines or segment-specific models. Developing new technologies (‘technology leadership’) – Direct drive technologies, new foundation concepts, low- and high-wind models, new materials technologies. New operational approaches (‘new operating models’) – JVs, outsourced activities, customer partnerships. New business approaches (‘new business models’) – Packaged services, focus on ‘smarter’ O&M, new revenue models.

WWW.THECONNECTSERIES.CO.UK | SUBSCRIBE ONLINE

These approaches are shown schematically in Figure 2. At the bottom left is the ‘focus and rationalise’ strategy, with its emphasis on optimising the core business. The vertical axis represents a progressively greater degree of market and technology stretch from the core, initially moving into adjacent markets and technology, and ultimately ambitious moves into inventive technologies and new market spaces. In contrast, the horizontal axis represents the degree of business model innovation, initially starting with new operating models, and then moving to new business models and approaches.

‘Adjacent expansion’ strategies can be market-focused, growing into new geographies or market segments, or technology focused, such as larger turbines and offshorespecific models. Let’s review these strategies in more detail: ‘Focus and rationalise’ – At the heart of this strategy lies a holistic approach to business excellence and a focus on the core capabilities that underpin a company’s ability to compete. In the good times it is all too easy to tolerate inefficiencies and grow into areas of activity where companies have no strong ability to compete. The ‘focus and rationalise’ approach strips these negative aspects away as part of a ruthless focus on core capabilities. Examples of this approach include Vestas, which spent two years from 2011 to 2013 focusing its operations as part of a restructuring programme, including divesting its non-core activities and reorganising its global footprint, and Suzlon, which streamlined and divested non-critical assets, e.g. forging and casting products. ‘Adjacent expansion’ – This strategy draws on existing strengths to enable organic growth into adjacent market areas. Such strategies can be market-focused, growing into new

geographies or market segments, or technology-focused, such as larger turbines and offshore-specific models. This strategy has been a central one for many companies. For example, much of Siemens’ recent growth has come from its offshore segment, while Vestas and Suzlon have a strong focus on emerging markets.

Companies are also rethinking the revenue model, with approaches such as PPAs between end users and developers becoming an increasingly common part of the landscape. ‘Technology leadership’ – This strategy emphasises heavy investment in R&D to deliver breakthrough innovations that significantly expand the envelope of the possible. Direct drive technologies, new foundation concepts such as floating foundations, low- and high-wind models, and composite structures are all examples of this kind of approach.

‘New operating models’ – This approach reconsiders the operational approach to the industry, with particular focus on JVs, outsourced activities, and customer partnerships. Examples of this include Gamesa and Vestas, which formed JVs with Areva and

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, respectively, to serve the offshore market, and the Vestas ‘SiteHunt’ and ‘SiteDesign’ services, which allow potential customers to partner at the development stage. ‘New business models’ – Some of the most forward-thinking companies have begun to rethink their business approaches and models, with focus not just on equipment sales, but also new services and ‘smarter’ O&M such as remote monitoring, robotics inspection and maintenance, emergency assistance and logistics. For example, GE Wind launched its ‘Brilliant’ turbine, which features remote monitoring and diagnostic technology, in 2013. This was part of its transition into a ‘total service provider’ model, which combines turbine manufacture, monitoring, service, direct investment and vendor financing. Such approaches can be high impact – Gamesa has seen a sharply high percentage of revenue flow from its service business (18 per cent in 2013) at a high margin. Companies are also rethinking the revenue model, with approaches such as PPAs between end users and developers becoming an increasingly common part of the landscape.

ambitious of companies may combine a significant degree of technology and market stretch with a change to their business models. From Arthur D. Little’s perspective, ‘focus and rationalise’ is a necessary but insufficient strategy. Although lean operations and a focus on core strengths is essential, even in the good times it is not an adequate basis for long-term growth. Further, while in tough times the first – understandable – instinct is to cut costs and streamline, the danger is always that such cost-cutting is poorly targeted and trades short-term benefit for long-term harm. This is particularly the case for innovation, which is inherently uncertain and whose benefits are hard to measure using conventional financial metrics. It is a notable feature of the wind industry that the most successful companies have not simply ‘slashed and burned’, but continued to invest in innovation. Armed with these innovations the leading wind players look set to reap the benefits of the continued growth of the wind industry in the future. Arthur D. Little sees this across all industries – long-term successful companies are those that resist the urge to indiscriminately cut cost and continue to invest in new innovations, even in difficult times.

Lessons to be learned (conclusions)

ind power is well established in Europe. Statistics from the European Wind Energy Association state that, by the end of 2013, there was 117.3GW of installed wind energy capacity in the EU: 110.7GW onshore and 6.6GW offshore. This installed wind power capacity would, in a normal wind year, produce 257TWh of electricity, which would cover 8 per cent of the EU’s electricity consumption – a rise from 7 per cent in 2012.1 It’s expected that a large number of new wind farms will be installed offshore, where wind speeds are higher and the turbines are less intrusive than they are on land. As offshore wind power is generated a long way from where it ends up being used, we need to find more efficient ways of connecting these wind farms to the mainland so that electrical power can be transported over long distances and fed into the onshore grid. Increasing our use of wind power will also support the future electrification of heating and transport as we’ll be able to run them using low carbon electricity rather than gas or oil. Given that heating and transport represent a significant proportion of most European countries’ energy use, this could make a big difference to both carbon emissions and reliance on fuel imports. What’s more, our onshore grids are ageing and their upgrade and reinforcement is all the more important given that we hope to generate an increasing amount of our electrical power from renewable sources such as

wind and solar. Many renewable energy sources are intermittent and partially unpredictable (i.e. we cannot control or always predict when the wind will blow) so the grid of the future needs to be able to cope with power that is generated further away (e.g. out at sea) and which may be generated intermittently.

Plans to use DC technologies for the interconnection of multiple renewable power sources, loads and AC grids underpin an interesting and promising transmission concept: HVDC grids. The development of DC (direct current) transmission is gaining momentum, largely due to modern power conversion technology (voltage source converter) and to the need for transmission of offshore wind power. Plans to use DC technologies for the interconnection of multiple renewable power sources, loads and AC (alternating current) grids underpin an interesting and promising transmission concept: HVDC (high voltage direct current) grids. The European Commission-funded ‘MEDOW’ (Multi-Terminal DC Grid for Offshore Wind) project is investigating

DC grids for transmitting offshore wind power: DC is more efficient than AC transmission – less of the power gets lost along the way – but we hope to develop a grid, rather than rely on single point-to-point connections, as grids are the best way to balance supply and demand of electrical power and to ensure reliability of the system when something goes wrong. Researchers in the MEDOW consortium are working on the technologies that we hope will make a significant contribution to the development of a European ‘Supergrid’,2 a pan-European electricity transmission network which will support the integration of largescale renewable energy, facilitate a single European electricity market and allow the EU to export sustainable energy technology and to create skilled new jobs. They are investigating some of the major technical challenges of transmitting offshore wind power through DC grids with multi-terminal voltage source converter technologies. They are studying DC grid topologies, DC power flow, DC relaying protection, steady state operation, dynamic stability, fault ride-through capability, and impacts of DC grids on the operation of AC (onshore) grids. Operation and control are being evaluated using various simulation platforms and experimental test rigs. At the moment, there is a shortage of operational experience and of skilled engineers in DC grids in Europe. Therefore, as a Marie Curie Initial Training Network, MEDOW aims not

WHAT PRICE OFFSHORE WIND?

O Words: John Massey Director, Green Power Academy

ffshore wind depends on the goodwill of policymakers and public, having two key problems. Firstly, it’s expensive: currently almost three times the current price of wholesale power in the UK. Even with cost reductions of 30–40 per cent, it could remain around twice the price – and achieving cost reductions requires learning and economies of scale through growth; yet growth depends on subsidy support. Secondly, the trend within policy is towards minimising subsidy impacts on consumer bills and ensuring known overall liabilities. Thus the practice of determining subsidy payments through competitive auctions and creating caps on budgets or capacities. In the UK, concerns are heightened by the imminence of a general election; one in which future spending commitments are toxic amidst talk dominated by deficit and debt reduction. How then to ensure continued subsidy for a relatively expensive generating source, when subsidies need to offer the best value to consumers? The industry already trumpets the wider values that a vibrant offshore wind sector and its supply chain create; in particular jobs. However these voices are too often lost within a power-and-policy conversation which tends to focus on one favoured metric.

Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE)

Image: © popyconcept Fotolia.com

‘Levelised cost’ is ubiquitous within industry press, reports and conference presentations. The concept is simple: add up the costs of a power plant over its lifetime and divide by the energy produced, producing a handy £/MWh figure: a lifetime-averaged cost of energy. Lower it by reducing costs and/

or increasing energy production. It’s easy to understand and appears useful for comparing the full-life costs of different power generating options. Using it shows offshore wind to be one of the most expensive. In practice, LCOE is calculated in different ways, to different levels of complexity, for different reasons and including different variables. It’s easily changed according to the chosen methodology and inputs.1 Figures are lazily repeated without reference to their underlying assumptions or treated like prices rather than costs. Above all LCOE fails to account for costs – or benefits – beyond the ‘gate’ of the power plant (although most calculations – but not all – include direct grid build/connection costs). If the support for offshore wind depends on broader economic benefits, LCOE is unhelpful. However the reporting of external economic metrics such as ‘green jobs’, fuel savings or CO2 reduction is often piecemeal and non-comparative. There is value in embracing, refining and promoting new metrics: as easily digestible and presentable as LCOE, but capturing a wider range of value chain economics.

Levelised Avoided Cost of Energy (LACE) In its 2014 ‘Annual Energy Outlook’, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) introduced a new metric: Levelised Avoided Cost of Energy (LACE).2 LACE estimates what it would have cost the grid to generate electricity displaced by a new power plant: an avoided cost. If a new project’s LACE (avoided cost) is greater than its LCOE (generating cost), then the net result is economically positive.

As with LCOE, avoided costs are summed over the project life and divided by energy output, producing a cost per MWh. Avoided cost depends not only on the type of new plant, but on the rest of the system. This includes factors such as grid layout, variations in daily and seasonal electricity demand, capacity credit and the characteristics of the existing generation fleet (balancing flexibility, fuel mix and so on): LACE is higher where growing demand means new capacity needs building anyway (the new plant avoids alternative capital expenditure). Where replacing existing capacity, avoided costs largely reflect fuel cost savings. Running the new plant more often means more avoided cost. If output from the new plant coincides with peak demand, fuel savings are bigger (we displace expensively-fuelled peaking plants). If fuel costs rise over time, then so does LACE. In the EIA’s calculations, offshore wind still fares poorly relative to alternatives on a net (LACE-LCOE) basis; due to high LCOE, low capacity credit and poor coincidence with peak demand. In the UK, where displaced gas prices are higher and correlation between high winds and peak demands closer, avoided costs will be larger. If we extend the concept of avoided costs to a macroeconomic scale, a consideration in the UK is that

FEATURE: WIND POWER ECONOMICS

displacing gas power generation lowers demand for imported gas (in the US, cheap gas results from a domestic shale glut). My simple calculation suggests that subsidies paid to offshore wind at a £100/MWh strike price closely match the money handed to Qatar and others to import the gas required to otherwise generate that energy. With a local supply chain, at least much of that subsidy recycles within the UK economy, paying for local wages rather than the 2022 World Cup!

Societal Costs of Energy (SCOE) The ‘LACE’ approach as defined by the EIA still omits important factors external to the power system. The benefits of job creation are widely promoted by the offshore wind sector, with the history of another offshore success – oil & gas – much compared. That supply chain in the UK employs about 10 times the number of people at work on the North Sea itself. They include many activities, from construction to consulting to legal services, all contributing quantifiable value to UK exports. Elsewhere, to encourage more researchers to analyse job creation benefits and with a degree of commonality, the US National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) offers freely available excel models, named ‘Jobs and Economic Development Impact’ (yes, JEDI!).3 Offshore wind is one of them. Other governments enforce employment benefits by linking ‘local content’ requirements with subsidy awards to renewable power (though whether WTO rules allow these has been questioned). Beyond jobs and their economic multipliers, studies analyse many other impacts for both conventional and

renewable power. These include fuel resource depletion, climate impacts, particulates and toxicities, nuclear accidents and more. Siemens, in defining ‘Society’s Cost of Energy’ (SCOE),4 attempted to distil a wider set of both direct and societal factors into a single, presentable and comparative metric. They penalise nuclear by representing hidden costs such as waste handling and accident liability. A carbon price >€80/t damages coal and gas. Offshore wind’s favourable SCOE depends on ‘employment effects’ (even with LCOE reduced to a generous €95/MWh, it is otherwise the costliest). Sceptics doubtless claim vested interest behind their assumptions: certainly the results could vary widely with different ones. We should scrutinise the figures, refine them and create our own such metrics; but the real value in Siemens’ analysis lies not in whether their figures are right or wrong, but in that it highlights a new

approach in the first place. Some argue that creating such metrics is too complex: too many variables; the domain of excel-loving geeks. Others that they are too simplistic; ‘dumbing down’ a complicated set of interactions. But in a discourse still dominated by LCOE, they can perform a vital role in presenting to policy-makers and others why – especially with money scarce – this industry deserves their continued support.

WAVEPOD: WAVE POWER OFFTAKE SYSTEM

avePOD (Wave Power Offtake Device) is a development between Bosch Rexroth, Aquamarine Power and Carnegie Wave Energy to produce a power take-off system module using hydraulics to convert the mechanical motion of a wave energy converter (WEC) into electricity. Almost all WECs have a reciprocating motion. Various means have been proposed to extract the energy from mechanical motion: these include linear generators, rack and pinion drives, reversing gear drive, electro-reactive polymers and open seawater hydraulic systems, to name a few. However none have yet been proven to be practical or economic in the real world. Both Aquamarine Power and Carnegie have operated freshwater hydraulic systems using water pumped to shore for electrical generation, but this has proven to be expensive for sites far from shore, and component reliability has been a challenge.

The mature technology available is oil hydraulics. Normally a hydraulic cylinder is driven by the hydraulic flow and pressure created by a pump and electric motor. Electrical generation is just reversing the energy flow and using a cylinder as the pump. By generating offshore, a compact power take off module can be produced that sits within the sealed environment of the nacelle and the task of transporting electricity to shore at high voltage can be carried out in a relatively straightforward manner. Bosch Rexroth is a global leader in drives and control technology and has been working to develop applications for the wave energy industry for over 10 years. Bosch Rexroth has great expertise in offshore and marine industries, particularly large hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic power units in difficult environments. Wave energy converters come in a multitude of concepts, different positions in the water column (seabed, mid-ocean, floating) and various locations in the sea environment (near shore to continental shelf). One of the problems with the wave energy industry is that there is a lot of secrecy

between WEC developers, even in common ground like power take off development, despite the fact that their machines often do not compete directly.

Aquamarine Power and Bosch Rexroth have produced a test rig which is currently located in the world-leading Institute for Fluid Power Drives and Controls (IFAS) at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. What Bosch Rexroth offers is the common development of the power take-off technology but most importantly the concept that the power take-off, control system, electrical generation, environmental control and the nacelle are all part of the same system and should come from a single supplier big enough and willing to take control of the whole package and solve problems in an integrated way. Initially the nacelle enclosure structural design will belong to the

WEC developers as this will be an extension to the structural design of the WEC but everything inside it will be Bosch Rexroth design and supply. As the design moves to commercialisation, Bosch Rexroth plans to take on the complete assembly of the nacelle to produce a module that the device builder only has to mount and plug in. This allows the WEC developer to concentrate on their area of expertise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the hydrodynamics of the device itself, the fixing or anchoring of the device and enabling the power produced to reach the shore. Bosch Rexroth would be responsible for all the internal aspects of the operation of the unit including communications, programming and data logging of the system. In order to maintain the integrity of the system, Bosch Rexroth would be solely in control of any service work carried out on the WavePOD system under a service contract. Bosch Rexroth as a global organisation will provide facilities wherever needed. WavePOD will give confidence to the financial backers knowing that a company of Bosch Rexrothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and reputation produces a major part of the WEC and is involved in the long-term support of the WEC. At the moment, Aquamarine Power and Bosch Rexroth have produced a test rig which is currently located in the world-leading Institute for Fluid Power Drives and Controls (IFAS) at RWTH

Aachen University, Germany. This has two parts: a 90kW scale WavePOD hydraulic and control system including cylinders to generator electrical power; and a hydraulic drive system to force the cylinders to simulate the sea to input the power. This is validating the simulation work for the performance of the control system and the power take-off and providing excellent experience and learning on how to control the system to provide a reliable and redundant control. In the near future, with a small amount of additional equipment, we will be able to simulate the Carnegie system and drive it as the hydrodynamics dictate. The plan for the near future is to produce a larger 300kW scale WavePOD system for both extensive wet and dry trialling of all aspects except the operation of the WEC itself, but including onshore and offshore handling, communications and programming. The lessons learned from this will feed into the final design and build of full-scale WavePODs for both Carnegie and Aquamarine Power. The WavePOD concept will be available to any other WEC developers to buy into and will include simulation services of early performance and cost evaluation.

FEATURE: TIDAL ARRAY CABLING

MARINE ENERGY ARRAY CABLING SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Thanks to the current economic climate wave and tidal energy has again been propelled into the industry spotlight as a more reliable and predictable energy source. Here, drawing upon 26 years’ subsea engineering experience in the offshore renewables, oil and gas industries, Jee Ltd’s Business Development Manager for the Renewables sector, Gary Howland, shares his experience of a pioneering marine energy project.

M Words: Gary Howland Business Development Manager Renewables, Jee Ltd

arine energy projects are on the rise in the UK, which is a positive step in decarbonising our energy supply, increasing energy security and reducing our dependence on imported fossil fuels. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) estimates that wave and tidal stream energy combined has the potential to deliver around 20 per cent of the UK’s current electricity needs. Attracting investment is the key to the development of marine renewables technologies. In June 2014, Scottish Enterprise (SE), a non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government which encourages economic development, enterprise, innovation and investment in business, gained approval to allocate £2.4m of funding to an innovative tidal energy project. The aim of the Marine Energy Array Cabling Solution Development Project was to accelerate development of effective solutions for a critical tidal energy array-related technical challenge. Jee secured the contract to locate, secure, protect and recover the electrical cables required to take the power generated from a number of tidal energy devices deployed in high tidal flow areas.

The project, which utilised SE’s public procurement process, aimed to reduce the commercial risk for supply chain companies by engaging their expertise in a critical area of marine energy research. This project has been highlighted as an important step in the commercialisation of the marine energy industry in Scotland, a sub-sector that has been prioritised by SE in its efforts to realise the economic potential of the renewables industry. SE’s funding supported the development of six technical solutions designed to meet the cabling challenge. Practical demonstrations of up to three of these solutions are due to take place in sea conditions by the autumn 2015.

The challenges The issues surrounding array cabling are complex. Many interdependencies are associated with subsea electrical systems, and therefore defining the project scope in detail for a new field can prove a challenge. The success of the project was highly dependent on the engagement of the five companies contracted by SE, who used their collective expertise and experience to develop effective solutions. One of the biggest challenges of the project was the stabilisation of the power cables, which had a shallow

water depth of 80 meters. Due to surface currents of 4.5m/s and extreme waves of up to 8 meters, conventional stabilisation methods would not suffice. As a result, Jee was tasked with devising an innovative solution that would prevent the cables from moving excessively, and prevent failure due to abrasion, over bending and fatigue.

The system shields the cable entirely from the harsh environmental condition, lowering the risk of cable damage occurring from excessive movement, contact from boulders and abrasion. The harsh sea conditions also represented a new industry challenge with regard to offshore marine work. There was only a small operational window available, between the high and low tide, to perform the installation work required. The strong currents made it difficult for installation vessels

FEATURE: TIDAL ARRAY CABLING

to hold a position next to the installation and prevented the use of divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which are typically used for subsea construction activities.

The solution Jee developed a pioneering cable protection system called the U-tube. The system features a pipe fixed to a J-tube which is secured to the turbine foundations at each end of the pipe. The cable is then pulled vertically into one of the J-tubes and through the pipe using a pre-installed messenger and winch line. Once the cable is pulled in, connections are made to the turbine nacelles using wet-mate connections.

The results The U-tube system provides the marine contractor with full control of the cable installation, which can be stopped and reversed if necessary offering a high level of flexibility. It also provides a wider weather window for the cable installation, which allowed Jee to overcome one of the biggest challenges of the project. The solution is as robust as it is innovative, offering a durable solution that will have an operational life of up to 25 years. The system shields the cable entirely from the harsh environmental

condition, lowering the risk of cable damage occurring from excessive movement, contact from boulders and abrasion. This reduces the need for time-consuming and costly repair work to the cabling in the future.

The use of the system takes away the need for heavy lift vessels or specialist equipment, which are expensive to deploy. The cable armouring can also be reduced, resulting in a lower cable cost. The U-tube system has many cost-saving properties. The use of the system takes away the need for heavy lift vessels or specialist equipment, which are expensive to deploy. The cable armouring can also be reduced, resulting in a lower cable cost. During the project, Jee identified that one of the most significant factors holding back the progression of the tidal energy industry is the inability to

achieve a commercially viable level of system reliability and availability, which in part has been due to cable failures. Jee’s robust system can meet the design life of 25 years and as a result, it provides a step change in improved reliability of subsea power cables in highly demanding environments. It is pioneering subsea solutions such as these that will allow the wind, wave and tidal energy industries to grow, cutting carbon emissions and creating new jobs in the future. Jee’s engineering capabilities cover the complete project lifecycle from design through to installation, operations, and decommissioning.

About Jee Jee is an independent subsea engineering and training company with offices in Aberdeen, London and Tonbridge. Jee’s multi-disciplined capabilities and integrated services cover the spectrum of subsea engineering for the whole project lifecycle for the global oil, gas and renewables industries.

TIDAL TURBINE HANDLING: MULTI-TASKING TO REDUCE COSTS Words: Joe Wilcox Head of Marine & Renewables, Supacat

Image: Below, far right: The concept for a manoeuvrable handling platform builds on Supacat’s expertise in developing the lifeboat launch and recovery system with the RNLI

ith a number of tidal turbines now well proven at the full-scale prototype stage, attention is now moving to the development of ancillary support systems – both in terms of the deployment of arrays and the of logistics of commercialisation. Appropriate handling of these devices will be crucial if the deployment, retrieval and overhaul and maintenance activities are to be performed cost-effectively with the required engineering precision and safety considerations. The movement of turbines both onshore and at the vessel to shore-side interface needs to be facilitated by timely operations

which allow precision and, above all, safe handling. Supacat has a reputation for innovative solution development in complex and challenging environments and has recently been considering the options for handling these tidal turbine devices. Quite rightly, the focus of the tidal energy industry has been on the development of the devices themselves. After all, without the tidal devices there is no requirement for the support equipment. To date, albeit with a few exceptions, onshore operations involving the handling of these large heavy loads (circa 200t) have largely been ‘making do’ with non-bespoke equipment. Whilst safety is

undoubtedly at the forefront of the industry’s mind, as the number of devices being deployed rises the number of lifting and handling operations will increase and as such the potential for safety incidents to occur also increases. Perhaps the key focus of all offshore renewable energies, and tidal is no different, is the reduction in cost across the board. With these two key considerations in mind, safety and cost reduction, it is envisaged that a fit-for-purpose tidal turbine handling device that could be used for final assembly, testing and commissioning, maintenance, onshore transport and installation vessel transfer can add real value to the industry.

FEATURE: TIDAL OPERATIONS

Image: Above: Supacat’s concept for a multi-role wind turbine handling device

Given the size and mass of complete turbines, a tool that allows final assembly at or near the dockside can bring significant logistic efficiencies as well the ability to undertake pre deployment testing. So what operational requirements do we need to consider? Given the size and mass of complete turbines, a tool that allows final assembly at or near the dockside can bring significant logistic efficiencies as well as the ability to undertake pre-deployment testing. One key lesson the industry has learnt to date is that the moment an operation leaves the dockside, cost and risks often escalate dramatically, therefore system dry testing in an onshore rig prior to deployment makes sense on both counts. Unless a turbine can be positioned dockside to allow direct deployment vessel loading or launching, any handling device will need the ability to manoeuvre the turbine for vessel loading or launching – perhaps on docksides with limited weight-bearing capacity or less than ideal surfaces. A further integration of

WWW.THECONNECTSERIES.CO.UK | SUBSCRIBE ONLINE

the handling device and deployment vessel to enable loading potentially avoids the need for expensive mobile or barge-mounted cranes. Planned maintenance of turbines (alongside the unplanned!) provides a key challenge for the industry as it gears up – being able to use a handling device as a maintenance platform can provide an inherently efficient and safe solution, something the early turbine deployment projects have sometimes struggled with. Providing all of these functions in a single machine requires significant design innovation and cooperation across the industry. Luckily for Supacat it’s not all new territory through our experience in designing and building life boat launch and recovery systems for the RNLI. The benefits of multi-role application have been proven by Supacat several times previously in other sectors. For example, the SMV 24 Windfarm Support Vessel was developed and sold by Supacat and can carry out an array of offshore tasks, such as wind turbine oil transfer, metmast servicing (using the accommodation role for far offshore work), dive support and ROV operations, as have been demonstrated by the vessel’s owner, James Fisher Marine Services. In addition to being able to fulfil multiple roles, in order for the tidal turbine handling device to be costeffective it must be compatible with as many, if not all, of the tidal turbine

devices in operation. Unlike the wave energy industry where there is still a wide range of technology types and forms, the tidal energy industry is largely converging on the horizontal axis turbine technology. This increased design commonality aids the development of logistical equipment and operations with increased multi-technology compatibility. It is through this drive to multi-role functionality and multi-device compatibility that the required industry efficiencies and cost reduction will ultimately be achieved.

The increased design commonality in tidal devices aids the development of logistical equipment and operations with increased multi-technology compatibility. Supacat is engaging with the industry to develop the vision for this multi-purpose handling device and early concepts have been well received, having been previously presented at All-Energy in 2014.

FEATURE: CONTROL CENTRES

THE NERVE CENTRE FOR WIND FARMS Individual turbine information transmitted to control centre

Words: Penny Hitchin

ontrol centres are an established part of the power generation industry. Unlike big conventional generating plant where the centre is located on the site, dozens of wind farms in disparate geographical locations can be served by one control centre which may be nowhere near any of the turbines. The remote control station has varied roles which include data management and collection, responding to alarms, controlling entrance and exit of personnel, release of plant, monitoring and grid compliance. Adam Oxley is Team Leader at RWE’s Wind Control Centre in Swindon. The centre is responsible for 32 onshore wind farms, ranging in size from two to 40 turbines, and for two offshore wind farms. It runs day and night every day throughout the year. During the week Adam leads a team of four people. At night and at weekends the centre is staffed by just one person. Adam explains what happens on a busy weekday. “The bulk of our work is carried out in the week. In the morning we are busy booking people onto site and releasing plant within the safety rules, telling them of any issues we have found overnight, making judgement calls on whether to reset turbines and talking to the National Grid about outages. Weekends are generally just

for fault-fixing when technicians go out to the turbines.” The team come from a variety of backgrounds. Adam switched from working at Didcot A coal-powered station to wind control at Swindon. Others come from diverse jobs including vibration analysis and clerical work. All are trained in RWE’s bespoke SCADA* data acquisition system, DC DAS, used for monitoring and recording.

The remote control station has varied roles which include data management and collection, responding to alarms, controlling entrance and exit of personnel, release of plant, monitoring and grid compliance. * SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a system operating with coded signals over communication channels to provide control of remote equipment (typically using one communication channel per remote station).

Each turbine has a control box collecting information including wind speed, wind direction, shaft speed and other factors from sensors. Each wind farm has an OEM SCADA which collects the turbine information and communicates with the DCDAS system via the wind farm’s communications infrastructure. Data from all the turbines is displayed in the Swindon control room. The control centre team have a portfolio overview page which shows a map of the UK with the sites and turbines that are turning and a wind direction arrow. A list of all the sites shows how much each is generating. Staff can drill down into individual sites and individual turbines to see if there are any issues. An alarm page flags up any alerts that come in for the team to look at that site and see what action is required. Communication between the control centre and the wind farms is essential but as Adam explains, “If we ever lose communication with a site we can log into the OEM’s SCADA system. If we totally lose access we have to get guys to go to the site but the turbines have got so much protection on them that we can safely run blind for a few hours. The turbines will automatically trip themselves out if the wind is too strong or if they develop a fault.” The centre is responsible for frontline performance testing and monitoring real-time trends for generation on individual turbines. If necessary issues can be referred to a performance team who will investigate in depth. Unexpected events can happen. For example last spring turbines on one site were underperforming. This was passed on to the performance team who eventually established that a mass of larvae had hatched onto the blades and compromised the blade performance. Adam says, “The solution was to wait for rain to wash it off. That was a freak event and only happened once. There is not a lot you can do about that!”

FEATURE: CONTROL CENTRES

Liaising with the National Grid The control centre is the wind farm’s contact point for the National Grid, and phone calls between the grid and the centre are a regular occurrence. Adam explains, “It can be us phoning them because one of our hubs has tripped and there is an issue with a transformer or it may be them contacting us to say there is going to be an outage or because they want us to curtail a wind farm because they may have an issue with a transformer or a substation.” Two of the control centre’s Scottish wind farms, Farr and An Suidhe are transmission-connected and are used by the grid as part of the balancing market. Adam says, “They will BOA (bid offer acceptance) us off and on. This means that basically they will tell us to come down to nothing to balance the grid at 50 herz. We receive an alarm advising us of an EDL instruction (Electronic Dispatch and Logging with National Grid). Notification to zero must be completed in two minutes.”

RWE’s Swindon wind control centre is one of a number of UK operational centres run by developer, utilities and other interested parties. Swindon monitors Rhyl Flats and North Hoyle, two small offshore wind farms.

The remote control station has varied roles which include data management and collection, responding to alarms, controlling entrance and exit of personnel, release of plant, monitoring and grid compliance. However, the trend is for the control centre for large offshore wind centres to be run from the port-side

maintenance base. Thus Gwynt y Mor, RWE’s giant new wind farm off the cost of North Wales, will be monitored from a control centre at the Port of Mostyn. Swindon will provide a buddy system for their night shift operator and will have visibility of their site and procedures as a back-up.

A good day’s work Adam is very positive about switching from conventional power to the wind industry. “It is such a varied role. There is something different every day which makes it very interesting. We deal with lots of different people. Our technicians are ready to drive 100 miles to go and look at a turbine. It is a breath of fresh air to see how committed these guys are.” For the future, the Swindon control centre is looking to take on more third-party work. As new turbines incorporate the facility to collect and transmit more data, operators are looking at ways of carrying out more in-house monitoring and maintenance to improve efficiency.

ALL AT SEA? Is the incoming CfD subsisdy regime fit for purpose and how will it affect the growth of the UK’s offshore wind industry?

Words: Hudson Bell Director, Utiligensia

Biography Hudson Bell is a professional Chartered Mechanical Engineer (MIMechE), with postgraduate qualifications in technology (MSc) and business (MBA). He has been working in energy and utility businesses for over 20 years and is the Managing Director of Utiligensia Ltd, a company providing strategic research, consultancy and interim project management services to stakeholders in the international utility and energy sectors, with a particular focus on offshore marine renewables.

hen I first became involved in the UK offshore wind sector in 2009, there was a lot of optimism about the prospects for the future growth of this emerging industry. The UK Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), published in January 2009, identified up to 33GW of potential offshore wind capacity in UK waters. A report published by the Carbon Trust in 20081 predicted installed offshore wind capacity of around 29GW by 2020, leading to the development of a UK-based supply chain to support this growth with creation of up to 70,000 jobs and £8bn in annual revenues. The Crown Estate shared these aspirations; previous licensing rounds (1 & 2) had awarded development rights of around 7GW capacity and by the time Round 3 was completed in 2010, the UK offshore wind industry was looking at a potential market of more than 30GW installed offshore wind capacity in UK and Scottish Territorial Waters. Fast forward to 2015, and the picture has changed somewhat. Although reasonably good progress has been made in that time, the rate of growth has fallen short of meeting those earlier expectations.

Nevertheless, following the commissioning of West of Duddon Sands Wind Farm in October 2014, the UK achieved a significant milestone of 4GW installed capacity, and remains a global leader in offshore wind with more than 1,000 turbines in operation across 23 offshore wind farms. With a further 1GW of capacity under construction, the industry is well on the way to exceeding 5GW in coming months. This has all been achieved against a backdrop of operating in an increasingly difficult market place – the consenting process has proved to be a major challenge, the balance sheets of the utilities are under pressure and political support has waned, leading to uncertainties as to the future direction of the industry. Offshore wind remains expensive to deploy, and for the near to medium term, the industry will require some form of subsidy to remain viable. Of course, the utilities, wind farm developers, funders, supply chain and other stakeholders are acutely aware that costs have to reduce significantly to ensure that the industry has a long-term future, not just in the UK, but across Europe and the rest of the world; ‘LEC reduction’ (levelised energy cost) is the new mantra, and many initiatives

are underway to make the industry cost-competitive with other forms of electricity generation. However, in order to fully achieve this goal, the industry needs more certainty around both the scale of the opportunity and the timeframes for delivery.

For a typical offshore wind project with a planned capacity off 500–600MW, strict eligibility criteria [require] some £50–£60m of investment, at risk. With the UK industry in the process of transition from guaranteed 20-year subsidy under Renewable Obligation (RO) to a competitive tendering process to secure a 15-year Contractfor-Difference (CfD) subsidy under the EMR regime, it’s not clear how the market will develop over the next few years. Introduced by DECC as a means of attracting low-cost investment to deliver long-term decarbonisation,

the rationale for the new approach to subsidies makes sense. However, as the saying goes, the devil is in the detail. Under the Levy Control Framework (LCF), which sets an overall cap on the budget for subsidising the deployment of low carbon energy technologies (including wind, solar PV, wave and tidal, hydro, etc.), the expectation is that growth in the deployment of offshore wind will be severely constrained. In the 2014 FIDER (early CfD allocation scheme), the Government introduced affordability criterion in lieu of a price auction in order to award contracts. This resulted in a relatively high number of projects going forward (comprising five offshore wind farms and three biomass projects), which together with existing subsidy commitments has put more constraints on the LCF budget going forward. On 28th January, DECC announced that £25m of extra funding would be made available for ‘less established’ technologies (which includes offshore wind), bidding in the first CfD allocation round, taking the total budget to £260m. The current consensus is that the outcome of the UK’s first competitive auction for the allocations of CfDs, which is due to be announced on 26th February, will deliver just one offshore wind farm in the region of 800–900MW capacity, and expectations are for no more than 10GW of total installed capacity by 2020. Limited budget allocation under LCF is then, a course for concern. However, another significant issue for offshore wind farm developers that wish to bid for CfDs under the new regime is in the amount of funding required in order to satisfy the strict eligibility criteria for submitting a bid in the first place. Offshore wind development has always been a risky business, requiring significant levels of investment pre-FID. Under CfD bidding process, the stakes are considerably higher. Applicants are required to achieve a number of significant milestones in the development process in advance of bidding for a CfD

including: Crown Estate Agreement for Lease; planning permits/consents awarded (onshore and offshore); acceptance of a Grid Connection offer; and, for projects with a capacity in excess of 300MW, a ‘Supply Chain Plan’ is required. For a typical offshore wind project with a planned capacity off 500–600MW, this amounts to somewhere in the region of £50–£60m of investment, at risk. It is understood that around six developers submitted bids for offshore wind projects in the bidding round. If only one project is successful, then potentially the industry as a collective is facing having to consider writing off as much as £250–£300m investment. That’s not good for the industry, or consumers, and certainly doesn’t help UK offshore wind to become more cost-competitive. It is unsustainable, and is an issue that will have to be addressed by the next Government following the elections in May. While we may not see the level of supply chain investment and numbers of jobs that were envisaged in 2009, offshore wind can still play a significant role in the UK’s energy mix, both in helping the country to reduce CO2 emissions and increase security of energy supplies. In order to ensure that the industry continues to grow, the current process for CfD allocation needs to be reviewed. In this climate of austerity, the prospect of a significant increase in LCF budget seems unlikely, but the next Government does need to consider how that budget is allocated, and what can be done to reduce the burden on developers that wish to participate in the process.

ISO55000 – WITHOUT TEARS? ISO9000 Model Management Systems Words: David Price Principal Consultant – Engineering, EPConsult Energies Ltd

Biography A Chartered Mechanical Engineer, David began his career with Shell in 1973, and has since worked in many locations worldwide. His expertise covers conceptual engineering, field development planning, management and operation of upstream oil and gas projects in harsh, remote locations. More recently, he has applied this knowledge to the development of systems and work processes addressing asset integrity management, including remnant life assessment and life extension. David is a Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.

In its simplest form, an MMS is sometimes known as the Quality Cycle – ‘Plan-Do-Check-Improve’. It is probably true that for every expert on MMS there is a different graphic. The one that I favour for its clarity is shown in Figure 1. Your organisations will almost certainly be applying a version of this MMS to quality and HSE management. The power of this model is that it can be applied throughout the organisation from enterprise level, through the various business functions and value chain, for example: project management, operations management, materials management and document management. And thus, to asset management. And that, in a nutshell, is what ISO55000 asks for.

Background

Asset management

ISO55000 Asset Management Standard heralds a new era according to the enthusiasts, or stands for unnecessary, time-consuming, expensive bureaucracy according to the cynics. So who is right? This article will strip away the complexities of ISO55000, revealing the simple message of maximising the value of an asset. We will discuss how ISO55000 applies the well-known principles of a Model Management System (MMS) and sets out to simply rearrange and organise the systems, processes and resources that are most likely already in place and working in your organisation. Asset integrity management will be explored and a seven-step approach to developing an asset integrity management system (AIMS) will be described. Much of the early thinking on asset management took place in the oil and gas sector. This basis of multiple high-value assets in different locations allows the principles to be directly transferable to the renewables sector.

Assets, and value realised from them, are the basis for any organisation delivering its business objectives. These assets can be physical, financial, systems, human or ‘intangible’ – culture, behaviours, communication, etc. For physical asset-rich enterprises such as renewables operators, the focus will be on those physical assets, but certainly not to the exclusion of the other asset classes. Asset management involves: coordinated and optimised planning, concept selection, acquisition/ development, utilisation (operation), maintenance, and disposal or renewal. Benefits include: alignment of processes, resources and functions; creating a demonstrable audit trail for what is done, when and why; better understanding and manipulation of information to provide informed and consistent

decisions. (Information begets knowledge begets intelligence begets wisdom.); improved full-life planning; consistent, prioritised and demonstrable risk management; alignment and coordination of existing processes and systems; and greater engagement of all employees, including leadership, communications and crossdisciplinary teamwork. The key words here are: ‘full life’, ‘demonstrable’ and ‘alignment’.

ISO55000 ISO55000 defines asset management as the “coordinated activity of an organisation to realise value from assets”. In turn, an asset is defined as follows: “an item, thing or entity that has potential or actual value to an organisation”. The ISO55000 series comprises three standards: ISO55000 provides an overview of the subject of asset management and the standard terms and definitions to be used. ISO55001 is the requirements specification for an integrated, effective management system for asset management. IS055002 provides guidance for the implementation of such a system. To fulfil the requirements of ISO55000, MMSs should be in place for the elements of asset management: project management, quality/HSE management, operations management, resource management, integrity management and enterprise management.

We will now consider asset integrity management, as a typical example of the application of MMS to asset management. Central to methodology of developing and AIMS is cost- and resource-effectiveness by the avoidance of creating more processes and systems, focusing instead on a structure around what already exists – illustrated in Table 1, which shows how a seemingly diverse array of integrity-related work process can be aligned to the seven elements of the MMS.

The RACIS charts should be used to review and update job descriptions (see Figure 2).

This is known as Capability Maturity Modelling, about which more can be read in Reference 1. AIMS Step 4: Prioritise the actions needed to address gaps and prepare an action plan. This entails a criticality assessment of the gaps identified in Step 3, to ensure scarce resources are focused on the important activities.

AIMS Step 7: Design an asset management organisation An asset management organisation has, broadly speaking, three groups: those who make money (operations, sales); those who spend money (projects, maintenance); and those who do neither, but must have some independence from the making and spending of money (finance, human resources, HSE, asset integrity). Many operators who have multiple high-value assets in different locations, find that the role of a technical authority provides the necessary independence through custodianship of the AIMS to ensure a balance is struck between costs and revenue, and assuring the safe and compliant operation of the asset throughout its service life. The technical authorities can be discipline or system-based and set consistent and uniform technical standards for the design and operation of the assets, and manage the compliance, and where necessary, controlled deviation from these standards.

ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR UK’S LARGEST RENEWABLES SHOW Words: Judith Patten MBE Co-creator of All-Energy and Conference Project Director

urrah, another All-Energy – the fifteenth since we created what has grown to be the UK’s largest renewable energy exhibition and conference. I love it, I love its busy-ness and buzziness, and relish for those two days being at the centre of a truly amazing industry. When you join us in Glasgow on 6th and 7th May it will be a far cry from the very first event way back in February 2001 when 350 people made it through thick snow to our conference and tiny exhibition in Aberdeen. What was exciting was the enthusiasm within this ‘sunrise industry’ (we concentrated then on what we called ‘the wet and windy’ – on- and offshore wind and wave and tidal). I remember standing with a group of people at the bar at the end of the show and just wishing it would never end. Well the show did (until the next year when we moved it to May so we’d not meet snow) but the enthusiasm hasn’t died down; and our move to

Glasgow has been enthusiastically received by exhibitors, speakers and visitors. We are living through some particularly challenging times for all sectors of the renewable energy industry, which developers, contractors and their supply chain live with constantly. My daily early morning hunt for news, for our news alert service, tells me the state of play.

As we near this May there is amongst many an almost surprising sense of optimism. “We can do it, we WILL do it”. My autumns and early springs are spent at other people’s events, soaking up the mood, news of innovations, the opportunities, the challenges... as we near this May there is amongst many an almost surprising sense of

optimism. “We can do it, we WILL do it”. Of course there is a major hurdle to get over – and no, I am not talking about EMR, CfD and a host of other challenges; I’m thinking of the General Election. Indeed, political discussion will be at an all-time high at this year’s All-Energy for the show coincides with the General Election, with demands from all sectors of the renewable energy industry for clarity of policy to ensure the UK not only meets its EU renewable energy 2020 targets, but can set about tackling the much talked about ‘energy trilemma’. The questions will all be there, but many of the answers will not be known until the final vote has been cast and the colour, or colours, of the next Westminster Government is revealed. Conscious that every vote counts, we’re reminding everyone eligible to ensure they take advantage of a postal vote. Wind, wave and tidal lie at the very heart of All-Energy 2015; always have, always will. These are the topics that

This year sees a strong opening plenary session including Cllr Gordon Matheson CBE, Leader of Glasgow City Council; Fergus Ewing MSP, Minister for Business, Energy and

WWW.THECONNECTSERIES.CO.UK | SUBSCRIBE ONLINE

Tourism, Scottish Government; Professor Sir Jim McDonald, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Strathclyde; Benj Sykes, Head of Asset Management, DONG Energy Wind Power; and Ian Marchant former CEO of SSE – and then the conference breaks into those nine parallel streams. Offshore wind sessions run throughout the two days, with lunchtime ‘quick fire’ sessions in the conference hall, newly situated on the show floor. Industry heavyweights will take part in the scene-setting opening offshore wind session; and then cost reduction; environmental issues; design, infrastructure; health and safety; operation, maintenance and end of life scenarios; and floating turbines will all come under the conference spotlight (Marine Scotland will again have a dedicated session).

Wave and tidal sessions will look at the current state of play in the UK; the global picture; infrastructure and design; finance and funding; the way forward; and scale – big versus small. The quick fire wave and tidal seminar theatre within the exhibition will undoubtedly once again prove a draw with reports from those testing at EMEC, and much more besides. With three dedicated onshore wind sessions looking at planning and consenting issues, O&M and repowering; and once again onshore turbines making ‘guest appearances’ in other important sessions such as farming and community and onsite renewables, wind, wave and tidal do indeed play a vital role in the show, and we look forward to welcoming Wind & Wave Connect readers, and to your feedback. See you there!

RENEWABLES IS THE NEW BLACK: THE GLOBAL INVESTMENT STORY

W Words: David Casale Turquoise International

ith the price of oil halving in just six months, other fuel costs have similarly crashed. Although good news for hard-pressed motorists, homeowners and business managers, many commentators have questioned the impact this will have on renewables investment and deployment. However, as oil prices for now at least seem to have stabilised, David Casale, Director at cleantech merchant bank Turquoise International, explains how the relationship between the value of ‘black gold’ and investment in renewable technology is perhaps not as straightforward as you might first think. After months of falling prices, February saw a slight upturn in the value of a barrel of crude oil. This said, its international price is still 50 per cent lower than last year’s peak, with many predicting that the situation is likely to stay this way for at least the medium term. By prompting big changes in the way in which organisations shape their exposure to the wider energy sector, this could have dramatic implications. In the past few weeks alone, the big oil giants have announced large fourth quarter losses, cut investment plans and slowed down production to try to manage the supply/demand curve. There have also been plenty of headlines around potential job losses across the global oil and gas industries. However, when it comes to the renewables sector, the relationship between established renewable energy sources – like solar and wind – and oil prices is less clear. The latest figures from Bloomberg New Energy Finance demonstrate that renewable energy investments increased by 16 per cent in 2014, reaching £205bn, the first

growth since 2011 – and five times the figures recorded a decade ago. It could be argued, in fact, that the success of the renewable energy industry has actually contributed to recent oil price fluctuations, alongside shale gas and wider efficiency measures, by lessening demand.

It could be argued, in fact, that the success of the renewable energy industry has actually contributed to recent oil price fluctuations, alongside shale gas and wider efficiency measures, by lessening demand. One potentially massive possibility is that those with large oil reserves have seen the end of the tunnel and are valuing their product with an eye on stranded assets – un-burnable reserves. If this were the case it would be the single biggest endorsement of low carbon energy of all time. In the medium term we are yet to see the full impact oil price declines are to have on renewable investment, and the true test will come after the election. Subsidy uncertainty aside, UK, European and global government support for renewables continues to make the sector relatively attractive for investors, who can see a direct return on their investment within a defined timeframe.

What’s more, climate change is still top of the global agenda, with a growing number of mandatory clean energy targets and carbon pricing policies, as well as the increasing pressure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and make the switch to more resilient and low carbon technologies providing comfort to those in the renewable sector. The need for a low carbon and diverse energy mix is not up for debate, how to achieve it at least cost is. However, the way in which that energy portfolio comes together may well be impacted by the failing fortunes of the oil economy. For example, the resulting fall in the price of gas will bring gas-fired power stations back onto the horizon, while nuclear and CCS are still being debated as short to medium term solutions. The costs of established technologies – like wind and solar – are coming down and remain on course to be, at least in a headline sense, cost-competitive with oil and gas. However, some of the newer, more innovative and niche technologies may suffer in the short-term as they are not so resilient. This will be especially apparent if government subsidies are also pulled away and refocused elsewhere.

Taking the UK as a specific example, the upcoming General Election will see voters not make their decisions based on who can best balance the carbon budget, but instead on who can keep the price of power down.

approach to energy policy; at least until a new government settles down and feels safe enough to change processes. Lower power prices affect the government appetite to pay out on the current Contracts for Difference (CfD) regime, as the market price reduction increases the effective subsidy to each unit of renewable electricity generated. As the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) only updates its pricing forecasts once a year, this debate is probably waiting in the wings of Whitehall. Looking at the big picture, while the current volatility in oil prices has sent some markets into panic stations, the reality is that this is nothing new. Fossil fuels have always fluctuated and that is part of the reason why global economies have already invested significantly in trying to rebalance this energy risk. From an investment point of view, while subsidies and pricing may impact on renewables in the shortterm, the long-term game is clear. To meet the needs of future generations and deliver lower carbon solutions, changes to our use and sources of energy will need to take place. Renewables offer part of the solution and the investment risk is clearly manageable despite whatever sparkle has come off the black gold market.

HEALTH & SAFETY: G9 PROGRESS

G9: DRIVING IMPROVEMENT IN OFFSHORE HEALTH AND SAFETY

2014 was a busy year for the G9 Offshore Wind Health & Safety Association (G9). There was the publication of the 2013 incident data report, and two Good Practice Guidelines. With 2015 looking to continue where 2014 left off, Andrew Sykes and Bir Virk (Energy Institute) take this opportunity to look back on what has been delivered so far and also give an overview of what to expect in 2015.

Words: Andrew Sykes and Bir Virk Energy Institute

2014: a busy year HSE data and statistics Mid-way through the year, the G9 published their annual HSE incident data report, providing a comprehensive insight into the health and safety performance of the G9 at 35 offshore wind farm sites in the UK and Northern Europe. As well as providing key information on the number of incidents and their consequences (including lost work days, near hits, hazards, etc.) the G9 were also able to identify the particular work processes where incidents were occurring and also the area where the incident took place. Out of the 616 incidents reported, the analysis identified that a high number of incidents were occurring during lifting operations, during marine operations such as personnel transfer and vessel mobilisation and while working at height. The analysis also showed that the highest number of incidents by some margin occurred on vessels. Good practice guidelines The data collected confirmed what was already understood within the G9: that the higher-risk activities resulting in injury to personnel were occurring during lifting operations, marine operations and working at height. The original intent at the start of 2014 was to develop three good practice guidelines with recommendations on these particular work processes and three draft guidelines were issued to the whole industry in April 2014. On the back of the consultation responses, it became apparent that there already existed within the maritime industry and oil and gas sector a number of established lifting guidelines and standards which contained good

information and recommendations on how to safely plan and undertake lifting operations. It was at this point that the G9 decided to focus on delivering the guidelines on working at height and the management of small services vessels as the need for these guidelines remained high.

A high number of incidents were occurring during lifting operations, during marine operations such as personnel transfer and vessel mobilisation and while working at height. These guidelines were developed further throughout 2014 and eventually published and launched at a G9 event in December 2014. The principles contained in ‘Good Practice Guideline: The safe management of small service vessels used in the offshore wind industry’ are applicable to any offshore wind farm and are consistent with good practice for the management of marine operations in the offshore construction industry. It takes account of the unique aspects of working in the offshore wind industry and provides specific guidance on a number of topics, including site management (roles and responsibilities, vessel selection, passenger requirements, etc.), marine coordination (organisation, competence, emergency response, etc.), marine operations

(passage planning, prep for departure, transit, in-field ops, etc.) and vessel management (including master/crew competency, watchkeeping, vessel management systems, etc.). The ‘Good Practice Guideline: Working at height in the offshore wind industry’ comprises four parts on lifecycle phase checklists, topic guidance sheets, flowcharts to support the preparation and review of procedures and supporting information on the regulatory requirements in the EU and selected nations, all with respect to working at height. The guideline draws upon existing standards and practices in other industries (including the oil and gas industry) and again takes account of the unique aspects of working in the offshore wind industry.

2015: Looking ahead The G9 realises publishing two good practice guidelines alone is not enough to tackle the issues within the industry. To supplement this work, the G9 held two workshops in late 2014 in order to investigate how best to implement the guidelines within their respective companies, and to identify short and long-term measures that would be implemented from each guideline. G9 members and supply chain companies are also undertaking gap analyses in order to identify what needs to be changed within their own company working systems and practices in order to fulfil what is stated in the guidelines. There have also been improvements in the incident data reported, with hours worked being collected for 2014 which will allow for benchmark and performance figures to be generated and enabling a comparison of H&S

performance against other generation industries. In addition, The Crown Estate in the UK has requested the G9 collect and analyse data from Round 3 developers and produce a separate report which focuses on the UK sector. The G9 has also taken on responsibility for delivering the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Safe by Designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workshops, which were formerly run by the Crown Estate. Building on the first workshop delivered in 2014, the G9 has developed a 2015 programme of activity on this topic, with the ultimate aim of investigating improvements in the design phase of an offshore wind farm project which will lead to a reduction in the number of incidents and improvements and efficiencies in H&S performance. Two additional areas of activity have also been identified: diving operations and helicopter operations. As with the development of the previous guidelines, working groups have been established to address to investigate issues surrounding these operations further, and also looking at the current legislation and state of knowledge within the UK, Germany and Denmark. 2015 looks set to be another busy year for the G9 as it looks to cement its place as the recognised authority on offshore wind H&S issues and continue working with other key stakeholders to ensure the H&S performance is continually improving.

MANAGING KNOWLEDGE SHARING WHILE PROTECTING DESIGNS Words: Chris Morris Burges Salmon

nowledge sharing is promoted as something that should be common practice within the renewables sector, not the least as it can play a factor in driving cost reduction and speeding up successful technology development and deployment. Whilst there are undoubted benefits to knowledge sharing, is it always in the best interests of companies trying to carve out a niche in a nascent technological area? The practice is actively encouraged and incentivised by funding schemes which make awards contingent on costs savings, often achieved by parties sharing technological advances, thus reducing ongoing R&D costs. Companies may be required to share, or even assign, their intellectual property (IP; intangible property arising from a company or individual’s creativity – a new industrial method or technical process, for example). The industry as a whole may agree to the principle that bringing costs down is a good one. Indeed, sharing of IP in this way is not uncommon, and the concept of standard-essential patents, where third-party IP must be used in a particular product to meet an industry-wide standard, is well established. Achieving reductions in costs through sharing of technical developments, however, does not sit comfortably with the concept of IP protection where, in the context of patents, the state offers a temporary

monopoly over a technological innovation. The clear incentive to protect being a market advantage to the innovator. The so-called ‘smartphone wars’ (with Apple and Samsung the chief protagonists) have made the value of these innovations very clear. In the face of this conflict, should companies in the wind, wave and tidal sector consider IP protection at all, if they will be required to share it with competitors and so lose the opportunity to monetise it?

Setting aside the issues of being able to monetise developments, or to prevent competitors using them, there are still many good reasons to ensure IP is documented and protected. Should you protect? If funding associated with a particular scheme requires sharing of IP with competitors then it is easy to think there is no point is seeking to protect any IP associated with a particular development. That may not necessarily be true.

LAW: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Firstly, patent protection – the strongest IP right when considering technical innovations – is only available where an invention is new and has not been made public. It is probable that protection would need to be considered before a company knows if it would be caught under the requirements of a particular funding scheme. A wait-and-see approach might mean the opportunity to protect is lost. Secondly, the exact requirements for sharing vary from scheme to scheme. It may be that companies are only required to grant a licence to parties working on the same scheme. Obtaining patent protection means the patent owner remains free to license the technology – and hence monetise its own development – to companies working on different schemes (subject, of course, to the innovation having multiple applications). Thirdly, at least considering patent protection for developments is simply best practice. Not everything that is created in the R&D process will need to be shared under a funding scheme and licensing of patented technology can provide a welcome income stream. The counterpoint to the above is clear: patent protection is expensive and time-consuming. It may transpire during the examination process – carried out by IP officials to decide whether something qualifies for patent protection – that a particular development is not, in fact, new and cannot be protected, leading to wasted costs. Likewise, even if a development is protected, in such a fast-moving sector, it may be rapidly superseded, with consequently little or no possibility of a licensing stream.

Brand recognition In what is a young industry, technological innovation is the driving force and patent protection for developments is the most obvious IP

WWW.THECONNECTSERIES.CO.UK | SUBSCRIBE ONLINE

consideration. However, there are other ways of differentiating a company from its rivals, where IP can still play an important role. Brand recognition, for example, can be critical. Even if two turbines are, as a result of incentive schemes, using the same underlying technology, if one company deploys the technology in such a way as to render its product more efficient or more reliable, then a strong brand can, with time and prudent marketing, become an industry shorthand for reliability and efficiency. Registering that brand as a trade mark means it can be policed, with the brand owner able to prevent third parties utilising a confusingly similar brand.

Keep it secret? Not all developments will fall under the knowledge sharing requirements of grant organisations, but nor will they necessarily be patentable. Companies may consider simply keeping a method secret, to avoid it being copied by competitors. In that scenario, limited dissemination of knowledge becomes important and companies may want to consider non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), if discussing a method with a third party. It is easy to envisage (potentially) non-protectable developments like this across all stages of the marine and wind sector, away from the core technology (such as turbines or turbine blades). From supply chain measures to offshore installation techniques, minor improvements can lead to a competitive edge.

Internal considerations Setting aside the issues of being able to monetise developments, or to prevent competitors using them, there are still many good reasons to ensure IP is documented and protected. Wind and marine renewables

projects are often undertaken by subsidiary companies or as part of a joint venture. This immediately throws up questions of who created the technology and who owns it if a project ends or a JV is terminated. Do the parties all have an equal share in the technology or does one party walk away with it? As always, the ‘correct’ decision as to whether and how to protect can only be made on a case-by-case basis, but IP protection should not be ignored. Being forced to share IP through funding arrangements may be the price a developer or innovator has to pay, but even then we would recommend: considering carefully whether the arrangement requires all IP to be shared or if there are aspects a company is free to protect; considering whether other nonprotectable innovations that are not caught by funding arrangements – such as supply chain measures – should be kept secret under an NDA, to maintain a market advantage; and maintaining internal measures to document technological developments as if IP will be protected, as a best practice means of ensuring nothing is missed.

ECOLOGY: COLLISION RISK MODELLING

UNDERSTANDING THE RISK OF BIRDS COLLIDING WITH OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES Words: Aonghais Cook, Liz Humphreys, Niall Burton (British Trust for Ornithology) & Elizabeth Masden (University of Highlands & Islands’ Environmental Research Institute)

he risk of birds being killed after colliding with wind turbine blades is often cited as one of the key environmental risks posed by offshore wind farms. This view was reinforced when an unacceptable risk to a Sandwich tern breeding colony was stated as a reason to refuse planning consent for Docking Shoal Offshore Wind Farm. However, despite concerns surrounding potential collisions, a great deal of uncertainty remains about how best to estimate the risk.

Collision risk modelling

As part of the Environmental Impact Assessment process for wind farms, collision risk models are used to predict the number of birds likely to collide with turbines. Collision risk models were originally developed for use in the onshore environment. At present, the industry standard is the Band collision risk model, developed by Bill Band for SNH and first used for the Islay onshore wind farm. The model has recently been updated to better reflect the data collection methodologies in the offshore environment. The Band collision risk model combines data describing the characteristics of a flying bird, such as size, shape and flight speed, with data describing the turbine, like size and speed of blades to estimate the probability of a bird and a blade occupying the same space at the same time. This probability is then combined with estimates of the total number of birds passing through the wind farm,

the height at which these birds fly and the proportion of birds likely to take action to avoid collision (referred to as the avoidance rate) in order to predict how many are likely to collide. However, estimates of these parameters are often uncertain, yet outputs from the models rarely reflect this.

Whilst several methodologies have been trialled to collect micro-avoidance data at offshore wind farms, none have collected sufficient data to derive robust avoidance rates. Avoidance rate The sensitivity of collision risk outputs to the assumed avoidance rate has been well documented, with the consequence that the most appropriate avoidance rate to use is a constant source of debate between developers, consultants, governmental advisers and other stakeholders. Despite this, the evidence base for avoidance rates is relatively weak. Collecting data on collision rates to derive avoidance rates in an onshore environment is feasible, but it is considerably more challenging offshore. With this in mind, Marine Scotland Science commissioned BTO

and UHI ERI to undertake a review of avoidance behaviour in five key species – gannet, kittiwake, lesser black-backed gull, herring gull and great black-backed gull. A key challenge was identifying and defining the spatial scales at which avoidance behaviour occurred. Birds may avoid entering a wind farm completely, avoid passing close to turbines within a wind farm, or pass close to a turbine and take last-second evasive action to avoid a collision. These avoidance behaviours are referred to as macro, meso and micro respectively. Given that there is evidence that birds may be attracted to a wind farm, or even to the base of turbines, it was felt that it may be more appropriate to refer to a behavioural ‘response’ rather than avoidance when considering the macro and meso scales. Attempts to assess avoidance rates at different scales were hampered by inconsistencies in post-consent monitoring programmes and other methodological issues. However, our review found evidence that gannets showed strong avoidance of offshore wind farms, whereas gulls showed no clear avoidance or attraction behaviour.

ECOLOGY: COLLISION RISK MODELLING

project led by UHI ERI. Whilst it is acknowledged that much uncertainty surrounds our understanding of bird behaviour and movements around wind turbines, little has been included in collision estimates. As part of the knowledge exchange project, stakeholders were questioned about their opinions on uncertainty in collision risk models, and using the responses as a guide, the Band model was updated to incorporate a simulation approach. Using a simulation approach means uncertainty in input parameters relating to birds and turbines can be explicitly included in the modelling process, and results can be output as probability distributions rather than single collision estimates. This means that not only the magnitude of an event (the number of collisions), but also the likelihood, can be assessed. These outputs will mean decision-makers are more informed when making consenting decisions.

Whilst several methodologies have been trialled to collect micro-avoidance data at offshore wind farms, none have collected sufficient data to derive robust avoidance rates. However, using data collected from coastal wind farms in the UK and northern Europe, we were able to estimate within wind farm (meso + micro) avoidance rates for gull species. As may be expected, these were very high, with more than 99 per cent of gulls estimated to take action to avoid collisions. This review represents a significant step forward in understanding avoidance behaviour in seabirds and has been welcomed by a range of stakeholders.

This collision risk model means that not only the magnitude of an event (the number of collisions), but also the likelihood, can be assessed. Where next?

Uncertainty Whilst the review provides estimates of average avoidance rates, it also gives associated measures of standard deviation which allows uncertainty to be factored into the collision risk estimates. The incorporation of variability and uncertainty into collision risk modelling has been the topic of a NERC-funded knowledge exchange

It is to be hoped that projects such as the Offshore Renewables Joint industry Project (ORJIP) will further add to our understanding of avoidance behaviour. However, collision risk models are sensitive to a number of other parameters, notably bird flight speed, and there is a need for increased data collection in these areas in order to better estimate collision risk in seabirds.
