Offshore wind farm Egmond aan Zee

• Planning- financial closure May 2005- grid
  connection Winter 2005-2006 - start
  construction on site April 2006- end
  construction October 2006
• Monitoring and evaluation programme- technical
  and economical- environment

MEP technology economy

• Adaptations to the maritime climate
• Combined load of wind and waves
• Morphology (foundations)
• Serial installation and operation
• Maintenance strategy
• Control strategy for grid integration
• Forecasting energy output
• Guidelines and calculation models for offshore
  wind farms

11
MEP environment Baseline Studies

• Scope- Benthos- Demersal pelagic fish- Sea
  mammals- Marine migrating birds

Wind farm Q7

• Developer E-velop / E-Connection
• 120 MW (60 Vestas V80)
• Expected production 438 GWh/a
• Authorisations completed,
• Power purchase ENECO
• Realization - Construction started 2005
  (onshore cables)- Commissioning expected in
  2007

13
Grid integration

• Study Connect II (Ministries of Economic Affairs
  Transport and Water Management TSO TenneT)-
  grid- physical planning- legal
• Short term (2010 max. 700 MW)- grid
  connection no major bottlenecks
• Long term- different technical possibilities
  for offshore grid(s)- roles responsibilities
  of parties involved

The Dutch energy policy

• Secure

Transition Sustainable Energy Supply
Sustainable
Affordable
18
Energy transition

• Close co-operation authorities stakeholders
• Strengthen social support
• Connected to RD innovation
• Strong leadership- Captains of industry-
  Interdepartmental administration

19
The long term prospects for offshore wind energy

• Next decadesIncreasing e-consumption (doubling
  tripling)
• Electricity production port folioPossible
  Transitions to CO2 free power- clean fossil
  coal gas CCS- industrial and domestic CHP-
  bio mass- (offshore) wind- other RES
• Offshore wind- high potential (6 15 GW)-
  competition with rest of port folio

20
Offshore Wind Energy Transition

• Nowoffshore wind premium price 0.097 /kWh
• Futureoffshore wind competitive
• Market development innovation must go hand in
  hand gt Controlled Development

21
Offshore Wind Energy Transition

• Scope of the Transition Offshore Wind Energy
• Energy - grid integration (net codes, balancing,
  physical planning)- increase value (reducing
  costs, forecast production)
• Hardware - wind turbines control systems-
  foundations, installations and OM
• General conditions- technical and environmental
  requirements- consents procedures and public
  support

22
Offshore Wind Energy Transition

• Examples of partners and projects
• Coalitions- we_at_sea (industry, RTD institutes)-
  Transition Platform Sustainable Electricity /
  Offshore wind (ppp)
• Grid integration- Connect II (Ministries TSO)
• International co-operation- Upwind (FP 6 IP
  aimed at 5-10 MW turbines)- Technology Platform
  SmartGrids- Wind Energy Technology Platform -
  COD- IEA (wind grids)
