Why offshore wind?
Ensuring security of energy supplies Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Introduction

Offshore wind must be competitive
• Offshore wind farms are only one of many possible methods of achieving policy objectives.
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Introduction
10
• Offshore wind electricity is very expensive and rely on large subsidies
The offshore oil/gas industry can help
• Many of the engineering and operational principles which the offshore wind industry takes for granted have been developed in the oil and gas industry.
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Introduction
11
• There are key areas for the both offshore industries to collaborate.
Threat: Major installation phase of offshore wind estimated to take place 2015-2020.Decommissioning of North Sea oil/gas platforms and a further round of optimizing production from oil and gas reserves estimated to take place 2015-2020.
Supply Chain Recommendations
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry
Supply Chain Recommendations
12
Port, quays and hard standing
There is an urgent and critical requirement a minimum of six ports and sheltered harbours with:
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Supply Chain Recommendations
• Large areas of hard standing
Port of Esbjerg with planned expansion
13
• Large areas of hard standing
• Deepwater quays
• Land on which to build factories
Vessels
• Installation of foundations and turbines: Sufficient vessels either in service or under construction in water depths of 45m and a few in 60m
• Supply vessels and tugs:
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Supply Chain Recommendations
• Supply vessels and tugs: Oversupply
• Installations of cables:Shortfall

However, these vessels could also
service the oil and gas industry.
Cable and Turbine Supply
• Limited manufacturing capacity for offshore electrical cables (particiulary high voltage DC)
Worldwide shortage of copper

15
• Shortage of wind turbines designed specifically for use offshore.
• Very few manufacturing facilities close to suitable ports and harbours.
Large Turbine supply (>5MW)
Concerns about the supply of:
• Large casting and forgings (gears and bearings)
• Carbon fibre (large blades)
• Rare earth minerals (high power magnets used in generators)
• Copper (windings in transformers, generators and cables)
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Supply Chain Recommendations
16
Competition from:
• Onshore wind
• Serving home markets first
– i.e. China, India and the USA
• Copper (windings in transformers, generators and cables)
• High power semiconductors (power conditioning and control)
Technology Recommendations
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry
Technology Recommendations
17
Turbine design
• Develop dedicated marine offshore turbines.
– Free of the constraints imposed on onshore
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Technology Recommendations
– Free of the constraints imposed on onshore turbines.
18
Generator design
• Promote the design of new generator designs:
– Direct drive permanent magnet DC generators
– Direct drive induction DC generators
– Single stage gearboxes with DC generators
– Two stage gearboxes and permanent magnet DC
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Technology Recommendations
– Two stage gearboxes and permanent magnet DC generators
19
Results:
– High efficiency,
– High reliability,
– Low maintenance,
– Light weight.
Tower design
• Promote the design of cheaper and more mechanically efficient tower designs which are integrated with the turbine foundation to minimize discontinuities and associated fatigue problems.
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Technology Recommendations
20
• A simple lattice structure from seabed to nacelle could prove more efficient and have fewer stress concentrations.
Blades
Promote improvements in:
• Construction techniques(accurate fibre placement)
• Automation of production processes
• Use of new polymers and fibres
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Technology Recommendations
• Use of new polymers and fibres
21

Construction and Installation
• Disused oil and gas construction yards could be brought back into service
• Existing yards could be modified and expanded for mass production
• Oil and gas offshore construction vessels and

22
construction vessels and equipment could be redeployed into the wind industry especially on the deeper water sites resources.
Aker Verdal
Access and egress
• Establishing a common database of accidents and near misses which may occur to allow both industries to learn and improve methods of access and egress.
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Technology Recommendations
• Promote the development of safe, all weather, access and egress.
• Eliminate the “leap of faith“.

Conclusions
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Conclusions
• “Black” vs. “Green” poses problems
• 2015-2020 busy period for both industries – potential for competition and delays
33
• Bottle necks: Ports, cable laying vessels and raw materials for turbines and cables
• Room for development: Turbines, tower, blades, generators
• Many synergies: Safety, engineering (foundations), manning
• Dispel the myth that offshore oil and gas technology is expensive.
Conclusions
Cooperation between the offshore wind industry and the oil/gas industry Conclusions
• The offshore oil and gas industry has 40+ years of developing offshore safety systems,
– absorb and adapt these systems
– learn from the mistakes which have been made
34
• Be aware that:
– the oil and gas industry can provide technology and experience
– it will also compete with the offshore industry for resources, particularly:
• Well trained personnel
• Vessels
• Raw materials
