  1. We@Sealarge-scale wind power generation offshore R&D programme 2004 – 2008 Jos Beurskens EWEC 2006, Athens February 28, 2006

  2. Offshore wind energy programmeWe@Sea • Initiated by major stake holders • We@Sea is a consortium of 32 members • Co-financed by the Dutch government € 13 million (45%)

  3. the We@Sea consortium • R&D Establishments • ECN windenergie, • TNO • TU-Delft • WMC BV • environment, nature • & safety • Bureau Waardenburg / • Alterra-Texel / NIOZ • Greenpeace • RIVO • St.Noordzee • University Twente • wind turbine manufacturers • GE wind energy • Vestas NL, (NEG Micon) • offshore technology • Ballast Nedam • Fabricom • Fugro Engineers BV • Genius Vos • IHC GustoMSC • Lloyd’s Register NL • Smart Tower • project developpers • E-connection, • E-concern (Evelop) • Shell Wind Energy BV • wind energy technology • ·Multiwind BV • ·Rheden Steel • ·Siemens • energy consultants: • Kema Power • Ecofys • energy sector • Delta Nuts BV • ENECO • Nuon • Statkraft • TenneT • logistics and harbour development • Dynamar • financers • NIB Capital Bank

  4. The aim of the programme To gain knowledge needed for implementation of 6000 MW wind energy at the North Sea. (= 15% of present electricity demand in NL)

  5. 100 MW NSW120 MW Q7 01-2006: 1300 MW National WE targets Wind contributes 16% to RE target 2020 9000 MW 7500 MW (= 45 PJ) National Policy: 2010: > 1500 MW on land + 2020: 6000 MW offshore 6000 MW 3000 MW offshore 1500 MW on land 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 Note: The energy-unit [PJ] indicates fossil fuels being replaced.

  6. Netherlands in perspective 1990 1995 2005 2000 At present: 1978 – 1985 R&D 23.3 MW S DK NL GB EIR D USA B 417.4 MW 18.8 MW 304 MW 25 MW 7 MW Total world: 802 MW

  7. Targets • Reduce generation cost of offshore wind energy: installation, operation costs • Increase value of offshore wind electricity • Planning regulations, which favor wind energy. • Outline for grid modifications

  8. Developer hasbest overview = We@Sea subject Ref.: Klaus Rave and others

  9. We@Sea research areas • integration & scenarios • offshore wind power generation • spatial planning & environment • energy transport & distribution • energy market & financing • installation, exploitation, maintenance & decommissioning • training, education & dissemination of knowledge

  10. We@Sea Σ = 26 million € • 0. integration & scenario’s 1,3 • offshore wind power generation 5,7 • spatial planning & environment 7,2 • energy transport & distribution 4,1 • energy market en financing 1,2 • installation, operation, maintenance & dismantling 4,3 • training, education, & dissemination of knowledge 0,7 • programme management 1,6

  11. Development of environmental effects monitoring equipment Grid (inter)connection ofoffshore wind farms(E-Connection) Only economically feasible if combined with other purpose interconnectors Bird collision detection ECN Birds flight detection radar TNO Cumulative effects (TNO) O & M Cost Estimator (ECN) Maintenance logs of 5 N80’s (FMECA format) serve as update of corrective maintenance frequency • Vision angle from Hook of Holland • Permanent loss of sea bottom habitat • Gain of hard substrate habitat PhD@Sea: 9 PhD’s at TU Delft addressing various priorities 5 selected projects from total of 25

  12. Lessons • Bottom-up initiative is essential • Programmes are used by authorities for regional economic development, which might jeopardise inter-regional/national collaboration. • Co-financing level too low (< 50%) • Demand based projects sometimes conflict with highest scientific requirements
