ECN Wind R&D Strategy
Offshore Wind Power Plants
Planning & Design
Construction Operations
Reduce COE of Offshore Wind Power Plants
80% of EU offshore wind farms have been realised
with ECN support
Top industrial players are exploiting ECN
technology and knowledge By 2015 ECN will have facilities for
14MW+ prototype turbines

R&D Line 2 – Wind power plant
and its components
• Integrating wind farm design tools: combine wake losses, electric losses, loads or residual lifetime, grid connection and calculate costs.
• Wind farm control in combination with lay-out designs to maximise production at minimum mechanical loads
• Implementation and demonstration of wind farm control
• ECN-coordinated EU project AVATAR for developing advanced aerodynamic models incl. Mexico Experiment for validation
• Support to XEMC-Darwind and 2BEnergy in FLOW projects – a.o. controller and support structure design support

Wind Farm Control
• Yaw upstream turbine : – Less power (higher loads)
– Yaw deflects wake
• Downstream turbines yield higher production
• Expected gain » 1-1.5 %
• Experiments in offshore wind farm for 2014 under discussion 8

R&D Line 3 – Wind power plant
electric network
• North-Sea Transnational Grid: development and validation of multi-terminal HVDC controller
• TKI synergy at sea: R&D on business case and technical design of interconnecting wind farms in the North Sea
• Development of optimisation methods for the electrical infrastructure in the wind farm and application to ‘Doggerbank-like’ scenarios

R&D Line 4 – Transport,
Installation and Logistics
• Support to industry to develop access systems from integral approach of offshore wind farms and cost modelling
• Example: Z-Bridge project within TKI
• Development of cost model for installation of support structures (based on O&M Tool)
• Possible projects: – Monitoring loads during transport and installation

R&D Line 5 – Operation and
Maintenance
• OPEX Cost Modeling
• Optimise and implement Wind Farm Data Collection: – key information from unstructured data
• LoadWizard Load Monitoring – integral solution for optimising the O&M strategy based on encountered loads
– consists of measurement hardware and software (FOBM), software for load prediction at all turbines (FleetLeader) and OPEX modelling for maintenance strategy optimisation (OMCE).
• O&M Optimiser – quantifying the consequences of short-term decisions allows for better decision
making and a reduction in OPEX and increased revenues
• Final stage for Fibre Optic Blade Monitoring (FOBM) – High accuracy, low maintenance, no re-calibration over lifetime, can be retro-fitted.
