Cost reduction is the key to ensure futurecompetitiveness of offshore wind power

Turbines

• Reduced part costs• Higher electricity yield• Industrialization

BoP/Foundations

• Standard-design• Industrial manufacturing• Scales of production

Grid connection

• Reduced complexity• Smaller platforms• Innovations

Operation & Service

• Durable parts• Less maintenance• Higher availability

The entire system needs to be tackled by cost reduction

Goal: reduction to < 10 euro cts/kWh by 2020 (FID*)

* Final Investment Decision


A new yardstick is needed –Society‘s Costs of Electricity (SCOE)

Background

• Judging electricity sources only byLCOE stems from ages whereelectricity production was by definitionbig-scale and localized at load centers

• With new energy sources entering thescene, this approach falls short.

Objectives

• Analyze supplementary factors in additionto LCOE which affect the true cost ofelectricity on a macro-economic level

• Provide a comprehensive background forfact-based and objective decisions on thefuture energy mix

• Base all calculation on acknowledgedmethods

The Right Tool for the Right Task


Service Operation Vessel - SOV

Development and design of SOVWe have designed and chartered 2new service operation vessels (SOV)aimed at efficient far shore and bigscaled service operations for longerperiods. First vessel supplied 2015 andfurther vessels are in the pipeline.

SOV operation specifications• Pax 40• Sign. wave height access : 2.3 m.• Cargo: 300sqm/8x 20 feet containers• Walk to work access systems• Comfortable accomodation for long

periods far-shore and big projects
