  7. December 2012 NEW GUIDELINE FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

  8. New Offshore Guideline NEW: Released in December 2012 • Latest developments in offshore industry • Latest testing conditions, safety systems and quality requirements • Review and testing of control systems due to increased size of turbines and mitigation of loads • Novel analysis methods for piles under cyclic axial loading considering the high frequency of tensial cyclic loads • Requirements for floating wind turbines regarding stability and mooring safety requirements are addressed • And more NEW GUIDELINE FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

  12. Design Assessment Quality Management Implementation of Design Requirements in Production and Erection Prototype Testing Type Certificate Type Certification • The Guideline for Offshore Wind Turbines was improved to fully comply with the (onshore) Guideline for Wind Turbines of 2010 (GL 2010 -> GL 2012) and to cover IEC 61400-3 / IEC 61400-1 • Type Certification especially for offshore wind turbines, floating and fixed • D-Design assessment included as a "feasibility check" prior to the updated C-Design Assessment for prototypes • A- and B- Type Offshore Certificate introduced (B-type allowing for non-safety relevant open items) • Component certification for all major parts included • Improvement of section regarding assessment of Implementation of the design-related requirements in Production and Erection (IPE) and introduction of Critical Manufacturing Processes (CMP) • Improved section ‘Test within the scope of the design assessment’. The section now gives more details, the scope is extended • Improved section ‘Load measurements’. Additional requirements were added for measurements at offshore wind turbines and floating wind turbines NEW GUIDELINE FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

  13. Project Certification • A- and B- Project Certificate introduced (B-type allowing for non-safety relevant open items) • Site design conditions and design basis requirements reviewed and improved • Site-specific design requirements improved (load analysis, foundation design, electrical installation) • Surveillance during manufacture, transport and installation reviewed. Surveillance for 25% of the turbines required for project certification • Commissioning updated, witnessing for 10% of the turbines is necessary NEW GUIDELINE FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

  14. Floating Wind Turbines • Different concepts of floating wind turbines introduced including their stability principles • Prototype testing of floating wind turbines introduced • Safety system requirements extended to floating (tightness and draft, position, mooring system, motions monitoring) • Freeboard, intact and damage stability requirements have been introduced. Requirements fulfil international codes • Special load cases for floating turbines. A load case group DLC 10.x is introduced to consider damage stability and mooring line loss situations • Consideration of additional parameters in control design (e.g. body movement) • Section with requirements for floating structures, including mooring equipment requirements • Requirements for towing of floating wind turbines are included Source: www.siemens.com NEW GUIDELINE FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

  15. Turbine • Requirements introduced for external power supply based on project experience • Requirements and classification of materials improved • Load case definitions improved and simplified • New list ‘Load assessment relevant data’, to support design process • New appendix table ‘List of protection functions (example)’ • Section "Drive Train Dynamics" included • Guidance on specification of synthetic SN-curves • Requirements for corrosion protection extended • Improved section ‘Automatic ice detection’ • New sections including heli-hoist platforms, aviation obstruction lights and met masts Source: Siemens NEW GUIDELINE FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

  16. Transport and Installation • Substantially modified to cover all operations starting from load-out and transportation till the lifting operations and installation procedures including vessel positioning • Harmonized with other GL rules in offshore sector • The components addressed are: • Load-out (floating, lifted, skidded, by trailers, grounded) • Transportation, including sea-fastening and towing (barges, floating) • Lifting • Installation of jackets, piles and topside structures • Vessel positioning • Pipe / cable laying NEW GUIDELINE FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES
