1 Norwegian R&D on Offshore Wind Technology Jan Onarheim Vice Director NOWITECH Senior Advisor NTNU 1

2 Why offshore wind R&D in Norway? Offshore 2020: 50 GW (?) Offshore 2008: ~1 GW Map: EWEA Karmøy CAPEX distribution offshore wind farm (DTI study) Electric grid Wind turbine Substructure Offshore wind at an early stage Use Norwegian offshore oil and gas experience Supply services and equipment Develop wind farms Huge Norwegian offshore wind potential Use hydro for balancing EU2020 a tremendous market opportunity (EUR 125 billions) 2

3 Offshore wind technology needs to be developed Technology must be developed for improved reliability and reduced cost The whole value chain can be improved: Design Manufacturing Installation Grid connection & system integration Operation and Maintenance Decommissioning/Extend lifetime Technical issues can be solved R&D must be go in parallel with test, demonstration and large scale implementation Cost of offshore wind energy ~ 1 NOK/KWh Seller s market R&D Goal: Cost reduction 1 EUR ~ 8 NOK 3

6 Norwegian Research Centre for Offshore Wind Technology Objective: Pre-competitive research laying a foundation for industrial value creation and cost-effective offshore wind farms. Emphasis on deep sea (+30 m). R&D partners: SINTEF, IFE, NTNU + associates: Risø DTU (DK), NREL & MIT (US), Fraunhofer (DE) Industry partners: Statkraft, StatoilHydro, Vestavind, Dong Energy, Lyse, Conoco Phillips, Statnett, Umoe Mandal, Aker Solutions, SmartMotor, ChapDrive, ScanWind, Veritas, SWAY, Vestas, Oceanor, Devold, NTE, TrønderEnergi ++ Work packages: 1. Numerical design tools (including wind and hydrodynamics) 2. Energy conversion system (new materials for lightweight blades & generators) 3. Novel substructures (bottom-fixed and floaters) 4. Grid connection and system integration 5. Operation and maintenance 6. Concept validation, experiments and demonstration Total budget (8 years): + NOK 320 millions including 25 PhD/post docs Application granted by Research Council of Norway 4 February 2009 Established 24. june

8 Industriklynge for offshore vindkraft med base i Verdal er etablert Eksempel på aktører Aker Verdal ScanWind Nord-Trøndelag El-verk Sintef /NTNU- NOWITECH SmartMotor VIVA LOG (Leverandørnettvek Olje&Gass) UTSPRING/ VRI Cleantech Kort beskrivelse Designer, produsere og leverer understell til offshore vindmøller Norges eneste produsent av turbiner Satser stort på vindkraft, potensielt viktig kunde Norges viktigste forskningsinstitusjon Teknologi for direkte drevne vind turbiner (blant annet) Vindtestsenter på Valsneset Satser nå også på vind Regionalt initiativ for industriutvikling Midt Norsk nettverk grønn industri De fleste av teknologibedriftene er i en utviklingsfase og vil kunne dra stor nytte av hverandre (ressurser, marked, relasjoner etc.) Unik mulighet til å skape en arena for samarbeid mellom forskning og industri Støtter aktivt og finansielt oppunder satsingen Siva The preferred partner Chapdrive Sarens Transrig Lokalt Havnevesen Øvrige industriaktører (f.eks Visman, Fosdalen industrier, Lafopa, Hansen Mek, BIS) Trønder Energi Trondheim Energi eid av Statkraft Slide 8 Norsk industriutvikling Vindturbin teknologi Avanserte transport- og løfte systemer Er underleverandører til AVE i dag Satser på vindkraft, potensielt viktige kunder 2008 Aker Solutions part of Aker Assosierte bedrifter/ potensielle medlemmer Driver innenfor flere områder

9 How to bridge the gap between R&D and large scale deployment of deep sea offshore wind? Suggestion: A NOK 5 billion demo programme a necessary step between R&D and large scale deployment 6000 Accumulated investment (MNOK) pilots + test station 4 demo parks Utilize R&D results Test and Demonstrate deep sea technology (bottom fixed & floaters) Kick-off offshore wind farm development Create new industry and employment Year 9

10 Rounding up Significant gearing-up of R&D on offshore wind technology in Norway by the CEER (FME) scheme Remarkable results are already achieved by industry and R&D institutes on deep sea offshore wind Technology still in an early phase Big potential provided technical development and bringing cost down to a competitive level To be successful R&D must be go in parallel with test, demonstration and large scale implementation A huge untapped potential for offshore wind in Norway 10
