  9. Model Validation Case Study Egmond ann Zee Offshore Wind Farm

  10. Validation Case Study Egmond ann Zee Offshore Wind Farm - Modelled Construction Operations: • Monopile & TP Installation - Svanen (36 Units) • Turbine Erection – A2SEA ‘Sea Energy’ (36 Units) • Export Cable Installation (3 Units) • Inter-Array Cable Installation (33 Units) • Turbine Commissioning • Wind Farm Reliability Testing

  11. Egmond ann Zee Case Study Stage 1 Results - Monopile Foundation Installation Duration Distributions (Single Unit per Trip) Iterations Duration [hrs] (March) Duration [hrs] (June) Duration [hrs] (September) Duration [hrs] (January)

  12. Egmond ann Zee Case Study Stage 1 Results - Turbine Erection Duration Distributions (2 Turbine Units per Trip) Iterations Duration [hrs] (March) Duration [hrs] (June) Duration [hrs] (September) Duration [hrs] (December)

  13. Egmond ann Zee Case Study Stage 2 Egmond ann Zee project definition - Segregated into 10 construction zones - Single contractor per zone at any one time - Construction sequence: 1. Foundation Installation 2. Sub-Sea Cable Installation 3. Cable Terminations 4. Wind Turbine Erection 5. Cable Testing 6. Wind Turbine Testing 7. Wind Turbine Commissioning

  14. Egmond ann Zee Case Study Stage 2 Results - Monopile & Transition Piece Installation O2C Predicted P(50) Project Build Duration Egmond ann Zee Total Project Duration O2C Predicted P(90) Project Build Duration 4 Days P(50) P(90)

  15. Egmond ann Zee Case Study Stage 2 Results - Wind Turbine Erection O2C Predicted P(50) Project Build Duration Egmond ann Zee Total Project Duration O2C Predicted P(90) Project Build Duration 65 Days P(50) P(90)

  16. Egmond ann Zee Case Study Stage 2 Results - Wind Turbine Erection (without logistic downtime) O2C Predicted P(50) Project Build Duration Egmond ann Zee Total Project Duration O2C Predicted P(90) Project Build Duration 1 Day P(90) P(50)

  17. Egmond ann Zee Case Study Stage 2 Results - Total Project Build Duration O2C Predicted P(50) Project Build Duration Egmond ann Zee Total Project Duration O2C Predicted P(90) Project Build Duration 38 Days P(50) P(90)

  18. Egmond ann Zee Case Study Conclusions - Good level of agreement (weather downtime modelling) - Modelling of project zones results in artificial delay (Egmond) - Modelling as an EPC contract would result in a better agreement - Complete project build duration within model’s P(50) to P(90) limits

  19. Summary The value of O2C Modelling - Allows resourcing sensitivity studies - Allows cost benefit analysis - Allows developer to assess & reduce contract interface risks - Importantly allows for a novel visualisation of the project build
