Offshore Wind Infrastructure Application Lab
Introduction
Aiming for efficient and reliableoffshore wind energy
#OWI_lab
But… first some history !
4000 BC
First ‘wind turbine’- Pumping water- Grinding grain- …
1891
First wind turbine ‘industrial’ power
generator (Dane La Cour)
1970
Global wind turbinemarket sets off (oil crisis)
1991
First OFFSHORE wind farm (DE)
#OWI_lab
First wind farmin Belgium
(1986 - Zeebrugge) Flemish high tech
And history from BELGIUM !

Offshore Wind Infrastructure Application lab
OWI-Project initiated by Generaties
Budget: €5,5M (€4,8M flemish gov funded)
Partners:
#OWI_lab
Offshore Wind Infrastructure Application lab
OBJECTIVES/SCOPE:
1. Invest in state-of-the-art test, and monitoring hardware & software (=start up R&D infrastructure)
(Local companies lack access to test infrastructure and datasets to support and accelerate their innovation process)
2. Cluster academic wind energy research projects (Maximize the potential covered by local academia)
#OWI_lab
Offshore Wind Infrastructure Application lab
OBJECTIVES/SCOPE:
3. Cluster local wind energy players (whole value chain)
(Promoting & unlocking the clustering potential of local players need of a ecosystem)
4. Start-up new innovation projects: FP7, SBO, O&O, Commercial,… (comprising the whole value chain)
(to meet the challenges of the industry: reliability & cost effectiveness)
#OWI_lab
4 action lines

#OWI_lab
Large cold climate chamber
Unique test infrastructure in EU !
Focus: accelerated lifetime testing /cold starts
Max dimensions test object : 10m x 8m x 7m
Max weight test object: 150 tons
Temperature range: -60°C +60°C Integrated 1,4 MW drive & high power supply
Location: Port of Antwerp (Churchill dock: breakbulk terminal)
#OWI_lab
Automotive sector role model for wind energy sector
We invite you to the openingof the climate chamber
in September 2012

At this moment Belwind already cooperates with OWI for astructural health monitoring measurement campaign, with veryinteresting results. It is inspiring to see how all involved partnerscan benefit from such knowledge build-up: Belwind and theirsuppliers to learn about the behavior and performance of their windturbines, OWI in the fact that they get access to a real offshore windfarm environment.
