“We want to add value to the product that we are selling. We believe that by performing additional processing to our steel products, our customers, the fabricators will benefit. We are effectively making the supply chain more efficient and reducing the cost and time of construction. This cuts down on the amount of stock that they need to carry, and they can then focus on welding and fabrication.” A £1.3m investment at Scunthorpe has led to the creation of a dedicated “wind tower 4

The latest part of the strategic plan is investment of £2m at the Hartlepool pipe mills to modify building layouts and invest in new equipment to gear up for the growing market for tubular steel for jacket foundations. Tata Steel is installing new equipment to increase the range of operations that can be carried out. Components will be manufactured from tubulars and prepared for welding into the finished structures. Services will include

cutting-to-length, circumferential welding, shot-blasting, coating and 3D profile end cutting. Tata Steel is also creating a stock marshalling area which will improve the supply logistics for the fabricator. An innovative supply service will see Tata Steel organise the different products and ship them in 'kit form' to fabricators in the UK and mainland Europe. Each kit will contain the precise range of sections required for a single fabrication. This service will enable foundations to be constructed in an assembly line style making fabrication much quicker, necessary to meet the demanding installation programmes for offshore developments. Tata Steel has formed a supply agreement with German steel tube producer Eisenbau Krämer (EBK) to increase the range of tubes the offshore renewable energy sector can order from one source. This agreement means that the widest range of tubular sizes can be offered to customers, reducing contract complexity and procurement costs for any specific project.

Renewable Energy Group Formed group of 22 of North East England's leading energy sector companies have invested almost £400million in their operations to help realise the region's ambition to become a global hub for offshore renewable energy solutions.

The companies have now formed Energi Coast, North East England's Renewables Group, to promote the extensive expertise of the region's offshore renewables sector and secure a proportion of the multi-billion pound global market. “North East England has the potential to become a global hub for the offshore renewables industry,” says Alex Dawson, Chairman of Energi Coast and Chief Executive of group member TAG Energy Solutions.

The group will also showcase the unique, comprehensive 'balance of plant' offering that exists in the region as well as the strong track-record of its members for collaborative working. It will also highlight the benefits of investing in North East England to aid the growth of the offshore renewables supply chain. “The region is home to a collection of extremely innovative and successful companies that have blazed a trail for North East England's supply chain in the oil & gas sector and are already expanding their expertise into offshore renewables,” said Joanne Leng, Director of Business Development at NOF Energy and Deputy Chair of Energi Coast.

“Having already substantially invested in offshore renewables, the region's supply chain has signalled its intentions to be a serious player in the global market.”

“As green energy resources become an established part of the required balanced energy mix, North East England companies have the capabilities to secure a significant proportion of the market, both domestically and globally.”

Energi Coast, which has been brought together by UK energy sector business support organisation NOF Energy, will promote the wide-ranging capabilities of the region's integrated supply chain in servicing the offshore renewables market in the UK and internationally.

Energi Coast companies currently have a combined turnover of more than £200million in offshore wind. This figure is forecast to double as the offshore renewables market expands, which will have a significant impact on the region's economy and supporting supply chain.

Wind&WaveCONNECT

The group's members currently employ around 6,000 people, which are forecast to grow by 30 percent as Round 3 offshore wind activities gather pace. North East England is a key strategic location for the offshore renewables sector. It has the potential to deliver comprehensive, all-encompassing supply chain solutions for offshore renewables. “It is a unique region in terms of geography, experience, infrastructure and technical capabilities,” explains Alex. “North East England is home to an extremely innovative and successful integrated energy supply chain, which is technologically-driven with excellent credentials for delivering large scale projects across the energy sectors. “The expertise and skills developed to create this unrivalled engineering heritage are now being applied to meet the demands of the offshore renewables sector,” enthused Alex. In addition to its integrated and technologydriven supply chain, the geographic location of the region gives it a distinct advantage enabling North East England businesses the ability to quickly and effectively service a significant proportion of the UK Round 3 offshore wind development zones.

Feature Dogger Bank, for example, which is the largest of the nine Round 3 offshore wind farms zones, is adjacent to North East England - just 60 miles off the region's cost. North East England is also close to other North Sea offshore wind developments. Three of the fields, Teesside, Moray Firth and Hornsea are between two and 86 miles away from the region. It can also effectively service the Humber Gateway, which is 112 miles from the region, Racebank, which is 112 miles away, and the East Anglia offshore wind farm at a distance of 230 miles.

It is an issue that Energi Coast believes North East England will have a positive effect upon. “Energi Coast will play a serious role in the debate of the cost of renewable energy,” says Joanne. “A cohesive and collaborative supply chain operating from one geographic location utilising an excellent infrastructure can have an impact on reducing the cost of producing renewable energy for the long-term.”

SUPPLY CHAIN CASE STUDY:

TAG Energy Solutions Investment for growth

Words: Penny Hitchin Images: TAG Energy Solutions

f the UK manufacturing sector is to benefit from contracts from the massive expansion in offshore wind farms, the supply chain needs to gear up for this.

Billingham based TAG Energy's action in building new facilities is a shining example of the sort of investment that is required to be in contention for contracts for Round 3 wind farms. The company was supplying large oil and gas projects, but the cyclical nature of that industry meant that it became harder to ensure a steady work stream. Business Development Manager John MacAskill explains the strategic thinking behind the investment: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our CEO, Alex Dawson, realised that the skills set of our management team and infrastructure would be suitable for construction of wind farm structures. He also saw a supply chain bottle neck for delivering monopiles and jackets for upcoming European developments. At that point tubulars - an essential component of foundations - had to be bought from continental Europe.â&#x20AC;? Dawson determined that a key objective for TAG would be to have its own facility to produce tubulars. TAG Energy Solutions is based on the River Tees, a prime North Sea location, alongside load-out quays and the longest quayside construction hall in Europe. A facility which could roll the tubulars from flat plate would open up new markets to TAG. No other fabrication yard in the UK is currently able to supply this component.

A large amount of investment was required and the team worked hard to find backers, pitching to dozens of potential investors. MacAskill says that a £3m grant from DECC was an important step which gave confidence to private equity investors who came up with the rest of the £20m investment. Designing a new state of the art facility, (currently the most modern in Europe), enabled the company to use the lean manufacturing principles honed by automotive manufacturers. The bespoke automated lay-out means that flat plate goes in at one end of the building and 'cans' or tubulars come out of the other. The dimensions of the cans can be up to 7.3 metre diameter in a single plate; up to 120 ml thick and from 60 to 100 metres length. The facilities also include new blast and paint areas for finishing transition pieces. The plant was built in just less than 12 months and opened for business in September 2011. The challenge now

could be on two shifts, rising to three over the next 12 months. MacAskill identifies three key areas to ensure that the UK supply chain wins contracts for Round 3 wind farms. One is for developers to ensure the UK is not disadvantaged - this means engaging with supply chain. Another is for strong UK government support and the third is for the UK supply chain to be entrepreneurial, to take risks and invest in advancements. TAG Energy Solutions and its backers took a risk making the investment. The growing order book is proof of the value of this strategy. TAG's new plant is built on a site that is rich in marine engineering history. It was one of the biggest shipyards in Europe and has a rich industrial history of fabrication of large structures. After falling into disuse, it is fitting once again activity in the North Sea looks to be playing its part in the regeneration of Teesside. Wind&WaveCONNECT

NEW VESSELS TO BE BUILT IN HULL TO SERVE OFFSHORE WIND FARMS A Hull shipyard is to build and operate a fleet of vessels to serve giant offshore wind farms planned for the North Sea. MMS Ship Repair will both construct and run the boats, which will transfer technicians and equipment to the wind turbines. Capable of carrying 12 passengers, the vessels would be able to run a “shuttle service” between the shore and the sites where hundreds of turbines are to be installed. The multi-million pound project will see as many as six vessels, up to 24 metres in length, built by MMS - with

the first ready for operation in approximately a year. The design of the vessels was unveiled at a special event at the World Trade Centre Hull & Humber on February 21. Rob Langton, managing director of MMS, said the boats will meet the needs of the area's rapidly-developing offshore wind energy industry. He said: “These vessels will have a unique design and will be much larger than most current boats - being purpose-built for the type of wind farms planned for the North Sea, which are further out from shore.”

HUTTON'S OFFICIALLY OPENS NEW UK HEAD OFFICE More than 150 guests attended the official opening of the new headquarters building on January 19. Britain's leading ship supplier Hutton's has moved its UK head office to new premises in Hull, England. Guests were given tours of the new facilities before joining Managing Director Alex Taylor in the boardroom where they were able to view before and after pictures of the ÂŁ250,000 building refurbishment. Founded in 1820, today Hutton's employs 70 people who work around the clock to ensure vessels have all the supplies they need for long sea voyages. In recent years the company's focus has evolved to include new markets including the developing offshore gas and renewable energy sectors. The company has grown significantly over the past few years, acquiring a number of other businesses and opening new regional offices to further boost its ability to supply to all major UK ports.

NEW UK PORT AGENCY SERVICES FOR 2 WIND TURBINES PROJECTS Abnormal Load Services (International) Limited (ALS) has provided UK Port and Vessel agency services for 3 x N80 R 60 wind turbines for Lairg Wind Farm near Invergordon in the Scottish Highlands and Phase 1 - importation phase for Drone Hill Wind Farm located in the Scottish Borders for 9 x wind turbine towers from 3 vessels.

Lairg Wind Farm ALS facilitated the use of mobile cranes for the 801 Ton cargo. ALS identified and provided alternative laydown and storage facilities at a site a short distance from the port.

NORTEK HAVE LAUNCHED A SCOUR MONITOR FOR OFFSHORE WIND FARMS, JACK-UP RIGS, JETTY WALLS AND UNDERWATER PIER FOUNDATIONS The instrument comprises four downward looking narrow acoustic beams, which continuously monitor the seabed profile close to the base of the structure. User selectable, time series datasets are collected and recorded internally and/or can be output in real-time, using RS 232 or RS 422 formats.

NEW FLOATING HOTEL FOR SHERINGHAM SHOAL WIND FARM The 145m Regina Baltica, a former cruise ferry, has been contracted as a hotel vessel to provide accommodation for the workers who will install and commission the remaining wind turbines and electrical infrastructure at the wind farm. Around 100 workers at a time will be based on the vessel during their work rotations. They will be able to take advantage of the facilities that include single-berth cabins, coffee shop, restaurant, a swimming pool, conference and meeting rooms, lounge areas and a sun deck. The wind farm now has 23 of the 88 Siemens 3.6MW turbines installed, and has been generating power since the start of August last year. The anticipated completion date is mid-2012 depending on weather conditions.

Changes in seabed levels adjacent to the structure can be measured in realtime and relayed back from the field. Scour and subsequent refill events, which might happen during storm periods, can thus be identified and fully quantified. The Nortek Scour Monitor provides invaluable information for modellers or project operators, trying to assess whether scour protection is required. The instruments have been designed, with the intention that they may be deployed in groups, thus enabling a complete assessment to be made of the overall wind farm sediment movement patterns. Nortek have been working on a unique deployment system, which should allow diver-less deployments to be carried out. Nortek will be at stand K20 at Oceanology International 2012.

Sheringham Shoal Project Director Rune RĂ¸nvik said that the use of a floating hotel alleviates the pressure on local towns to continuously accommodate such a large shifting workforce.

Drone Hill Wind Farm ALS used both mobile and port cranes to discharge and place into sequential quayside storage of 9 wind turbine towers from 3 vessels. Phase 2 is planned to take place in Spring 2012 and consists of a further 13 towers to complete the project. info.hull@als-europe.com

The silent

revolutio n Words: Robert James, Ochrol Ltd.

Wind energy developers are adapting in face of increasingly stringent planning authorities nshore wind is now such a well-established arm of the energy industry, and turbines an increasingly frequent sight, that it is remarkable to reflect on how young the sector still is: the 20th anniversary of the UK's first wind farm (at Delabole, Cornwall) went by without fanfare in December 2011. After a slow start, onshore wind saw breakneck growth after the millennium, with consented capacity growing more than tenfold to over 9GW during the decade to 2011.

But as onshore wind comes of age it faces unprecedented challenges from the planning system, particularly at the local planning authority level. RenewableUK recently reported that in 2011 the local authority approval rate in terms of capacity fell below 50% for the first time, confirming what practitioners already know too well: it's getting tough out there.

The reasons are straightforward enough. The industry has become something of a victim of its own success, with turbines becoming over-familiar industrial structures in the public's imagination - as opposed to the enigmatic symbols of sustainability that they once were. Furthermore, the abundance of proposals has not always been handled with the greatest panache, creating unnecessary enemies and giving rise to an effective and well-resourced network of objector groups. In this context many planning authorities, considering that they have now 'done their bit', feel empowered to resist larger or more controversial proposals - particularly in England where the proposed abolition of Regional Strategies also removes renewable energy targets. So how are developers maximising their chances of success in planning? Firstly, applications erring on the side of caution in terms of detail and expert input (from ecologists, landscape architects, aviation specialists etc.) are far more likely to succeed since minor technical issues, if not proactively resolved, can and frequently do give rise to unnecessary refusals. Increasingly therefore, relatively small applications resemble mini-EIA projects in terms of their scope and format. Secondly, site selection and project scoping is key.

Whereas old-style Local Plans were often vague on wind development, newer policies tend to be more precise over what areas are considered acceptable for turbines and on what scale; and hence applicants are well advised to review all guidelines in full at an early stage. A portfolio approach is increasingly attractive to investors, with a range of single turbines or 'clusters' often proving more successful and manageable than wind farms. Third, effective local engagement is vital, even for small developments, to counterbalance any opposition. Whilst a technically sound proposal may culminate in a favourable case officer's recommendation, commercial-scale wind proposals rarely avoid planning committees - inherently subjective arenas where entire projects may hinge upon an applicant's persuasiveness. Finally, savvy developers remain mindful at all times of the appeal route and the need for technically competent submissions and effective advocacy. Data shows that 57% of proposals by capacity were allowed on appeal in 2011, providing much encouragement and showing that national policy considerations, abundantly favourable to renewables, are paramount and can often tip the balance in favour of an otherwise borderline proposal. Overall, whilst the current context for wind is undoubtedly challenging, practitioners in the sector remain buoyant, with RenewableUK projecting that onshore capacity can be more than doubled by 2020. However, without a doubt the next generation of consents will undoubtedly be harder to win than the last.

Sabellaria: the reef building worm and its importance for marine developments

Words: Martin Dyer, Thomson Unicomarine he presence of the marine worm Sabellaria (commonly known as ross or honeycomb worm) in proposed development areas can cause concerns. But what is Sabellaria and why it is it considered so important?

What makes it so special? Sabellaria worms form tubes of sand bound by mucus, and the tubes attach to stones or to other Sabellaria tubes, to which the larvae are attracted. Tubes that are close together can combine and form crusts that can grow to form large reefs. The importance of coral reefs is well known but reefs in more temperate climates are also important. They increase the natural diversity of an area by providing hard and complex structures for colonisation by fauna and flora and attract fish by providing nursery and feeding

areas. Sabellaria reefs are valuable habitats for a wide variety of species and are of special conservation interest due to their rich diversity and sediment stabilisation properties. Subtidal reefs are also considered to be an important food source for pink shrimp (Pandalus montagui), which feed on both Sabellaria and the fauna sheltering within the tube complexes.

of Sabellaria does not necessarily constitute a reef, for which the structure must rise above the seabed, but very large numbers indicate the possibility of a reef. Other marine habitats, such as shallow sand and gravel beds, have BAP priority status, but regulatory bodies give Sabellaria reefs priority.

Biodiversity Action Plan priority

habitats

The local and national importance of reefs must be assessed, which will involve a detailed survey of their extent and diversity. This will often be part of the original ecological characterisation survey but additional survey work may be requested by competent authorities. An assessment must then be made of the likely impact of the development on the reefs and, finally, compensation and or mitigation issues

Reefs formed by living organisms, in this case Sabellaria worms, are known as biogenic reefs. Such reefs are Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) priority habitats and their conservation status will be taken into account by the MMO and their advisors, such as Natural England and CEFAS, when considering any development that impacts the marine environment. The mere presence

Feature will be considered. If the development is considered to have a significant impact, it may be necessary to consider relocation of the development (e.g. through the re-siting of monopiles or cable routes in order to avoid the reef) or, possibly, modification of the design in order to encourage Sabellaria to colonise the new structures.

The importance of reefs in the marine environment and some positive effects of developments By avoiding destruction of Sabellaria reefs and encouraging their development, the impact of man-made structures on the marine environment can be reduced. If consideration is given to the structure and design of developments, man-made reefs (solid structure such as rigs and windfarm bases) can become viable reef sites. Shallow areas with strong tidal movements and frequent sediment disturbance from storms, can have a reduced diversity because few marine animals and plants can survive such conditions. In these areas, solid structures can provide a stable environment and increase diversity. Some might argue that the natural environment is always to be favoured, but, when these structures are considered vital in order to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, the potential for such developments to encourage diversity could be considered a positive environmental benefit. www.thomsonecology.com

Case study: the Port of Felixstowe Thomson Unicomarine completed an extensive survey prior to the proposed extension of the frontage of the Port of Felixstowe to provide more berths for large container vessels (the Felixstowe South Realignment - FSR). Sabellaria spinulosa was found near to the area where a new dredged channel was required. In order to determine the extent of any actual reef structures, it was necessary to undertake an underwater video survey. From this a detailed distribution map of Sabellaria was produced which showed it to be outside the proposed dredge channel and not directly affected by the dredging. There was some concern that increased sedimentation from the dredging might harm the reef but, as Sabellaria requires turbid waters and the reef was at the entrance to a harbour already affected by turbidity and strong tidal currents, the FSR Public Inquiry at which Thomson Unicomarine acted as Expert Witness, accepted that there would be minimal impact and the development was approved.

Did you know? There are two species of Sabellaria in UK waters: â&#x2013;

Sabellaria spinulosa, is found mainly subtidally but can be found on the lower shore. It is quite common all around the British Isles and in other parts of the North Atlantic. Occasionally, the worms can form large reef-like colonies of up to 50cm high and several metres across. The larvae settle between January and March.

â&#x2013;

Sabellaria alveolata is found mainly on the lower shore but can also inhabit shallow subtidal areas. It is found mainly along the southern and western coasts of the British Isles, as far north as the Hebrides but there are some records from the east coast; its distribution extends southwards to the Mediterranean. It can form reefs several metres across and over 50cm deep. S. alveolata spawn around July and the larvae settle between August and January.

Settlement occurs mainly on existing colonies or their dead remains and they feed by filtering small particles from the water. Particles of sand and shell too large to be ingested are incorporated into the walls of the tubes in which they live. The preferred environmental characteristics for reef development are hard structures (rock, shell, gravel or artificial substrata, especially near an existing reef) near a source of suspended sand. These conditions are often found on the edges of sandbanks and channels.

Narec's new state of the art facilities Words: Penny Hitchin Images: Courtesy of Narec

s the home of National Renewable Energy Centre, the coastal town of Blyth in Northumberland is in the

vanguard of renewable energy developments and its pioneering facilities are acquiring an international reputation. Set up in 2003/4 as a centre of excellence in the North-east, Narec has grown rapidly to become a national hub for the independent testing of new renewable technologies. Over ÂŁ100m investment has been secured to build three new state of the art testing facilities. Narec is also developing a 100MW demonstration offshore wind farm which will provide developers with an opportunity to

Wind&WaveCONNECT

put new turbines through their paces before making investment decisions about large scale deployment. Testing undertaken at Narec is done in accordance with industry standards to help the certification of prototypes. The facilities are open access and companies come from around the world to use them.

Blade testing facility A new ÂŁ15m facility due to open late summer 2012 will be able to test the huge blades designed for the next generation of big offshore wind turbines. Narec has built up its capability over five years of testing blades. The new facility - the biggest in the world - will be used for testing new blades up to 100m in length.

The 3MW rated horizontal drive train test rig will enable Narec to test marine energy devices in a new facility in an existing dry dock. It has been designed mainly for testing entire tidal turbine generating systems but can also be used to test wind turbines and sub-components such as gear boxes and generators. It will be operational in spring 2012. It will offer 'Highly accelerated life time' (HALT) testing, compressing comprehensive testing into 3-6 months. This is attracting interest from tidal companies who want to test their prototypes before venturing into the open water. Funding for the £18m facility has come from the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the European Regional Development Fund.

15 MW drive train test facility This 15MW facility is dedicated to testing offshore wind turbine drive train mechanical and electrical systems. When completed in summer 2013, it will be the world's largest and most sophisticated facility of its kind and is poised to play a key role in the UK's Round 3 expansion of offshore wind. The test rig will mimic the conditions that wind turbines will encounter when installed offshore. Building work on the massive 32 2

metre high 3,000m building started in December 2011, with commissioning scheduled for the summer of 2013. The project is budgeted at around £45m.

Narec says that there has been a very positive response to its call for Expressions of Interest from utilities and other developers which closed in December 2011. Narec plans to choose three exclusive “owners” to operate “pods” of five turbines each for 10 years. An environmental monitoring platform is to be installed this year and consents applied for so that installation can start by 2014.

Evolution of Narec Narec was set up in 2003 /4 with £30m investment from the Regional Development Agency One North East as the New and Renewable Energy Centre. It was one of five local centres of excellence and other areas of interest included distributed energy; solar PV and electrical networks. Its role was supporting companies, incubating start-up companies and providing testing facilities. The step change in its role came a couple of years ago when it succeeded in winning over £100m investment from government, EU and the ETI to establish international standard testing facilities for offshore renewable energy - wind, wave and tidal generating technologies. Narec's business model is based on the model for similar research centres in Europe with one third of its income coming as subsidy from the public sector; one third from research and development projects and one third from commercial services. The publicly funded entity attracts investment; supports companies; supports R&D; helps incubate new companies and undertakes supply chain projects. The not for profit company Narec Development Services Ltd operates on a commercial basis providing research, testing and consultancy services to businesses and international organisations.

Narec has come a long way in a short time and exciting developments are underway. It is investing millions of pounds in its state of the art facilities and it is set to play a key role in testing and development of renewable energy devices. With hundreds and hundreds of huge wind turbines due to be deployed in Round 3 and with marine projects progressing towards the market, Narec looks set to be playing an increasingly important role in helping the UK meet its ambitious targets for generating low carbon energy.

Demonstration offshore wind farm Narec has a seabed lease from the Crown Estate to build a 100MW demonstration offshore wind farm. It is intended for testing pre-commercial prototype turbines in readiness for Round 3 developments. In 2010 Narec was awarded a grant by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) for the infrastructure for the demonstration project. A grid connection has been allocated.

INN VATION reducing the cost of met masts for offshore wind farms Words: Penny Hitchin

base, as the vacuum sucks it into the seabed. It uses less steel than conventional piled foundations and the design removes ne key input into decisions about building wind farms is information provided by the “met masts” which house meteorological and ocean instruments for gathering and recording essential data about wind speed, direction, pressure, temperature and wave height. As developers look to build in deeper water, further offshore, the cost of collecting this data can run into millions of pounds. What different approaches are being taken to reduce the cost of gathering this essential data?

the need for pile driving, seabed preparations, scour protection and a transition piece. Forewind Limited have a contract with Fred Olsen United AS to design, construct and install two met masts and foundations using the suction installed bucket design at the Round 3 Dogger Bank site by late 2012. The met masts will be produced by SeaRoc while Harland and Wolff will manufacture the foundations which will be installed on Dogger Bank using a new 132m jack-up vessel, Brave Tern, which is now under construction.

OMM: personal backing for gravity Carbon Trust funding supports new foundation designs The Carbon Trust offshore wind accelerator (OWA) programme identified foundations as one of the areas where innovation could reduce costs. Met masts, which are often installed in the early stages of detailed planning of offshore wind farms, provide an opportunity to trial new developments in the design of foundations. In October 2010 SMart Wind installed Round 3's first met mast in the Hornsea Zone on a 'twisted jacket' foundation. The 'twisted jacket' foundation designed by Keystone Engineering is a finalist in the OWA competition to find innovative and cost effective foundation designs for deeper water conditions. The prototype was funded in partnership with the Carbon Trust and DONG Energy. SMart Wind is a joint venture between Mainstream Renewable Power and Siemens Project Ventures to develop the 4GW Hornsea Zone. The suction installed bucket is another foundation design identified in the OWA programme.

OMM is an innovative and growing company which has contracts in offshore cabling and maintenance. Grimmond has a background in offshore telecommunications but working in the offshore renewables sector has made him a strong advocate of the industry and he wants to see costs come down so that renewables are competitive and are around for the long-term. “I am concerned about investor confidence and the need to evolve cost effective innovation,” he says. “We are looking for ways to reduce front end costs; to evolve and to open up the market and give more choice.” Image: Rob Grimmond Courtesy of OMM

The traditional monopile foundation for met masts is expensive to install and expensive to decommission. OMM is looking for ways to reduce front end costs and give more choice. Rob Grimmond is not seeking funding, instead he is putting his money where his mouth is, and backing his idea for a standardised, modular approach to offshore met mast construction.

Rob Grimmond says the economics compare very favourably. The gravity based foundation can be installed by a DP 2 (a Directional Positioning offshore support vessel) costing £40-50,000 per day, half the day rate of a jack up barge. In addition the foundation structures could be re-used rather than decommissioned and scrapped after use.

“I have designed a gravity based foundation based on a concrete and steel method which allows standardisation within met masts,” he explains. “A developer could buy the base and the requisite number of pieces for the depth of water.” The base would then be lowered to the sea bed, and the steel pieces joined up to a top piece where the met mast is installed. OMM would maintain the met mast for two years while it recorded information but then the foundation could be removed and refurbished for future use.

The entrepreneurial Aussie is very enthusiastic about his idea and believes that the potential for savings is considerable. “We are looking to get the cost for a Round 3 met mast down to £2m per mast installed. This compares to maybe perhaps £9m per met mast with a conventional foundation.” He is partnering with a UK engineering company to develop his own idea for a gravity based met mast foundation. He believes that it will be ready to come to market in the second half of 2012. Rob Grimmond says: “This is one of my personal ideas. It's outside the company expertise, but with the detailed design work completed we are about to partner with a foundation company.” The next stage will be to build and trial one of the devices before launching them onto the market. This type of enterprising and proactive approach to making offshore wind more affordable is vital if costs are to be brought down so that the industry can succeed in building cost effective wind farms further from shore.

Marine Energy Case Study:

Rolls-Royce TGL Words: Penny Hitchin Images: Rolls-Royce

uge challenges face developers who are bringing new marine energy generation technology to market. Getting the prototypes out of the laboratories and into the ocean is a giant step which needs considerable resources and advances in understanding of marine conditions. Once individual designs have been proven, developers will tackle the challenges of operating them in clusters. In the six years since it was set up, Bristol based Tidal Generation Ltd (TGL) - now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rolls-Royce has made huge strides in developing its innovative tidal generating technology with the ambition of deploying arrays of 1MW turbines.

TGL currently has a 500kW tidal turbine installed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, where it is undergoing tests while generating to the National Grid. A 1MW turbine is being manufactured as part of the ETI sponsored ReDAPT project ready to replace the 500kW machine this summer. TGL is working with a variety of developers to provide turbines for the first arrays likely to be constructed in Scotland.

The TGL Concept The tidal turbine is a three-bladed rotor coupled to a gearbox, induction generator and power converter. It is designed to be easily installed on and removed from a tripod foundation fixed to the seabed in water between 35m and 80m deep. Power is exported via a subsea cable. A distinctive feature of the TGL turbine is the rapid deployment and retrieval system that means the turbine can be installed or uninstalled in as little as 20 minutes. The turbine is buoyant and can be towed to its point of operation. A patented winch and clamp design is used to place the nacelle on its foundation and lock it in place without using lift vessels or divers. 26

company was unable to access under its own steam. For its part Rolls-Royce was attracted to TGL as the technology fitted with its own business case.

Benefiting from Rolls-Royce expertise

In 2009 TGL was having problems installing the foundation for the turbine on the seabed in the fast waters off the Orkneys. Once Rolls-Royce became sole owner, it was able to bring in resources to de-risk the installation process. The issue was how to get a vessel to remain stationary while carrying out an installation in fast moving waters. TGL had been attempting to do this by using a fixed mooring system which proved challenging in the fast flowing waters.

and resources The TGL turbine is now one of the world's leading tidal devices. The company formed in 2005 to develop the concept of the tidal turbine and was acquired by Rolls-Royce in 2009. TGL was trying to execute a low cost, high risk strategy when Rolls-Royce took over in December 2009, bringing a range of resources to the project that the start-up

The decision was taken to switch to using Directional Positional (DP) vessels - a first for the emerging marine energy industry at that time. Rob Stevenson, CEO, Tidal Generation Limited and VP Power Ventures, Rolls-Royce reflects: “We learned very quickly when we switched installation method to DP vessels. We used blue chip oil and gas contractors who were very good but costly. They quickly showed us that their method is to prepare in minute detail: de-risk and de-risk to the point that when they leave the quayside they are 99.9 per cent guaranteed success, hence a more costly approach is justified by the success rate.”

The device was taken out of the water for six months to deal with an issue with the variable pitch gearbox, but once back on the tripod by Christmas 2011

The plan is to ship the new turbine to Orkney at the end of May 2012 and install it on the existing tripod with operation in June, Rob Stevenson says: “This is a big machine. The size is impressive. It weighs 140 tonnes, and is 20 metres long with an 18 metre blade diameter, so it's a big beast.”

If all goes according to schedule the big beast should be operating by mid-June 2012. TGL plans to install and operate a 10MW demonstration tidal array as part of the MeyGen consortium in Caithness' Inner Sound. Rob Stevenson cautions against expecting too much, too soon, from the new marine energy industry: “Every time we deploy a turbine and retrieve it we learn a lot. We have been focussed on the turbine, but we are now looking at arrays. Our commercial offering will be a 1 MW turbine - but the sector is extremely challenging and there is a lot of work to do before tidal arrays become established. That said the opportunity is huge.” Wind&WaveCONNECT

South Tyneside College and

team of engineers from Dale Power Solutions have completed an intensive four day marine safety training programme at Narec and South Tyneside College, to enable them to work safely when working on

offshore wind sites. Trainees undertook two days of Working at Height and Rescue Training on Narec's 27m high Training Tower in Blyth, Northumberland and spent a further two days at South Tyneside College's Marine Safety Training Centre (MSTC), South Shields, Tyne & Wear. At Narec, instructors from Total Access Ltd trained technicians on access methods when climbing a turbine using the vertical ladder and fixed vertical fall arrest system. The technicians also received techniques for self-recovery and casualty recovery. Steven Caseley, Commercial Director, Narec said: “Working at height and vessel transfer is an essential yet hazardous process when

anuary saw the launch of the UK's first Marine Energy Park by Minister of State Greg Barker. Burges Salmon was privileged to host the launch bringing together key players in marine energy from the region. The coalition Government has spoken in warm terms about the marine energy sector since it came into office nearly two year ago and announced a new policy to create 8 Marine Energy Parks. It is hoped that these parks will drive innovation and growth through the clustering of marine activities. Analogies have been drawn by the Minister about the success of clustering in Silicon Valley for the tech sector.

Scilly with a focus around the ports, research facilities and industrial clusters in Cornwall, Plymouth and Bristol. The area has access to a significant wave and tidal resource as well as offshore wind. RWE Npower has proposals for the Atlantic Array offshore wind farm in the Bristol Channel and Marine Current Turbines original demonstrator was situated off Lynmouth. In addition to that, of course, we have the Wave Hub off the coast of Cornwall near Hayle, a grid connected site for the testing and development of marine energy devices. Falmouth has recently announced its Falmouth Bay test site (FAB Test), establishing an area to test scale models of wave energy devices, and the universities in the region are making great efforts in focusing on marine energy as a source of expertise. The launch of the prospectus for the Marine Park is the first step. It is important not to underestimate the work that has gone into that and the challenges of bringing together different stakeholders, local and national Government, local enterprise partnerships, developers, academia and industry in a collaborative partnership. The big question, however, is what will this achieve? Cynics may point to Marine Energy Parks as an interesting development with a glossy

Whilst it is easy to be critical about the amount of support being provided to renewables from this coalition Government, one has to accept that the Government's recent proposal to increase the Renewables Obligation Certificate banding support for marine energy technology to 5 ROC's across the UK has been a huge boost for the sector and will hopefully accelerate the deployment of demonstration and possibly even early commercial projects.

minus Government support and a voice at Central Government level, they may be proved right. It is all very well to establish a cluster but if that cluster speaks with a lone voice in one region of the country, competes with other clusters in other areas, does not have Central Government support backing and lacks funding, it will face an enormous challenge. As a participant in the launch meeting, I am not so downbeat. It was the commitment of the Government.

We all know that funding is tight at the moment but the decision to award 5 ROC's to marine is very welcome. Other marine energy parks are likely to be launched around the country and cooperation rather than competition was the buzzword. There is no question that Alex Salmond and the Scottish Government have promoted marine renewables in Scotland with great success over the last few years. This is largely helped by a major Crown Estate round of marine leasing, drawing in major corporates and utilities to develop projects in the Orkney and Pentland Firth waters. The South West has not yet had a Crown Estate commercial round and it is hoped that this will materialise.

It is undoubtedly the case that the serious prospect of devices in the water concentrates the minds of developers and corporates. Westminster can learn from the promotion of marine renewables by the Scottish Government and Alex Salmond. It demonstrates what can be done if there is a firm will and voice from Central Government promoting marine. Cornwall and the Southwest need this to flourish. Whilst Greg Barker cannot necessarily conjure more money from a magician's hat in these times of austerity, there is no reason at all why public support and central voices cannot be mobilised. Just before we leave the money point, let's not overlook the significant potential for the UK finances to prosper from the marine technology

building on the flourishing industry that is already there. We must aim to capture a higher market share for marine energy than we have managed to do with technology such as offshore wind. It is a marvellous opportunity for everyone which must not go begging.

Delivering skills for a low carbon future Siemens wind power training school iemens’ technologies provide around 40% of total UK wind energy generating capacity and the company is the leading provider of grid connections in the UK, providing 75% of all offshore wind megawatt (MW) connected to the National Grid. This includes six UK offshore grid connections and eight offshore substations. Siemens has around 1000 employees in UK renewables and aim to double their workforce over the next three years. So as the UK makes plans to hit renewable energy generation targets and the need for skilled workers in the industry becomes apparent, the Wind&WaveCONNECT team were invited ahead of the official opening to take a look around Siemens' answer to the call for specially trained renewable energy technicians in the UK; the Energy Service Training Centre in Newcastle.

Over the last three years and after an investment of £8 million, Siemens has established the UK's first combined Energy Service Training Centre complete with fossil

and wind power training bays with full-scale turbines, a fully loaded 2.3MW nacelle, two training towers, 15 state-ofthe-art classrooms, an engineering area and a training environment which seeks to replicate field operations. Siemens operates a Zero Harm health and safety policy, which is reflected in the Centre’s training courses. The Centre also runs a large Apprenticeship Programme, which aims to equip the next generation of engineers and technicians with the right skills and knowledge to work in the renewables industry. Mark Champney, a senior Technical Trainer for the centre describes the key aspects of the courses: “We give them the foundations to go on site, be safe and access the towers correctly. Any tasks that they do, they will always have the right knowledge, know how to use the tools and be safe.” In 2005, apprenticeships were started in the fossil business and in 2010, the Wind Power Service

Words: Jade Byrne Technician Programme was launched and pioneered by Siemens with RenewableUK. It has already tripled its intake from 12 to 37, reflecting the growing needs of the industry. Competition for a place on a course is tough as both schemes run in conjunction with local colleges, housing teams of full time trainers and assessors delivering specialist training. Siemens received 1,000 applicants for 24 apprenticeship places alone.

This is a unique facility. There is nowhere else in the country where you can work on a real turbine.Team Humber.

There is also the much coveted graduate course which currently only offers 15 places. Alongside this, the centre offers training for up to 500 newly-hired employees each year as well as many hundreds of other employees - whether working on wind, steam or gas turbines - for refresher or up-skilling courses. Keith Hunter, General Manager - Training Services, recognises the popularity of the courses and the need to expand, “In terms of immediate plans, the training facility for 2012 is almost fully booked as we are looking to almost double our service technician workforce during the next 12 months. We require a combination of skills and competencies. The Centre focuses on equipping the technicians with the skils they need to operate safely and effectively in the field. We are unique in being able to offer such training.” It's easy to see why the training centre is in demand with what it has to offer. It's fossil power training bays are dedicated areas containing steam and gas turbines and generator technology. Its bespoke turbine equipment simulates field operations and the wind power training bay includes a fully loaded 2.3MW nacelle, two training towers

and an engineering area. This year Siemens will add a 3.6MW nacelle. Matthew Knight, Business Development Director for Round 3, is positive about the future of the centre: “This is a unique facility. There is nowhere else in the country where you can work on a real turbine.” The skills the technicians will learn at the centre will become invaluable as the industry grows and the technology develops. The current design life of a turbine is 20 years and has consumable parts that need replacing. As original turbines were just designed for onshore purposes, to cut costs in the future, the next generation will be specifically designed for offshore usage. Last year, Siemens launched a 6MW prototype which is a third lighter per MW than anything previously seen. The 6MW wind turbine will last longer, catch more energy and has half the component count, therefore providing double the energy for half the maintenance cost. This will be music to the Government's Cost Reduction Task Force's ears and means there will be more demand for energy service technicians in the near future. So how will the Energy Service Training Centre expand as this kind of technology develops? “Having got the facility to where we have it now,” explains Keith, “I'm describing it as the end of phase one. Now the task is to fill up the facility with training people. We've got lots of spare ground around us and we need to create

”

more capacity to do that. Equally, we are looking to work with Siemens' partners on aspects of our training so potentially we can work with third party providers. We have an excellent relationship with Tyne Metropolitan College and we are looking to expand our relationships with other colleges so they can do more of the generic training then we can focus on the more technical and practical aspects.” The future looks bright for the Centre as Siemens Energy Services won the Regional EEF Future Manufacturing Training and Skills award in 2011. Keith concludes: “It's an exciting place to be. It's going to get bigger and better and we are part of a network of training centres that Siemens has got around the world. We are the only integrated energy service training facility so far so we are leaders within Siemens in terms of our training capability.”

Siemens is the undisputed leader in wind power in the UK offering a unique portfolio that spans the latest in turbine technology (from 2.3MW to its 6MW prototype), grid connections and substations, service and maintenance, financing and training.
