    Siemens Gamesa & CrossWind Hollandse Kust Noord Offshore Project

    Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and CrossWind have executed the contract to deliver the turbines for the 759 MW Hollandse Kust Noord offshore wind park. It includes the supply of 69 SG 11.0-200 DD offshore wind turbines and a 15 year service and a maintenance agreement. Final conditions are planned to be met in the coming months, converting the contract into a firm order for Siemens Gamesa. The Notice to Proceed has been signed, following the issuance of the irrevocable permit from the Dutch authorities to CrossWind in December 2020.

    The Hollandse Kust Noord project is the third project of the Dutch national offshore wind roadmap based on subsidy-free tenders. As the first project for Siemens Gamesa with joint venture partner Shell, and the second offshore project with joint venture partner Eneco, the companies are keen to join forces and create a broader renewable-energy future. CrossWind’s parent companies Shell and Eneco have already taken the Final Investment Decision.

    CrossWind is a joint venture between Shell (79.9%) and Eneco (20.1%), specially created for this offshore wind project. Construction work on Hollandse Kust Noord is expected to commence in 2023 with turbine commissioning planned to be completed the same year. When operational, the offshore wind power plant will be able to generate renewable energy equal to the energy needs of 1 million Dutch households.

    The Netherlands is planning to build six offshore wind zones between 2015 and 2030 on the path to achieve carbon neutrality and combat climate change. Of these zones, Siemens Gamesa offshore wind turbines will be installed at all three awarded zones when construction is completed: exclusively at Hollandse Kust Zuid and Hollandse Kust Noord and co-installed at Borssele.

    Offshore wind has been determined to play a decisive role in the Dutch movement towards carbon neutrality and combatting climate change. Under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, the Dutch national government is aiming for a minimum of 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 compared to 1990. The Netherlands also wants to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions from the energy supply by 2050. Both an acceleration of deployment of offshore wind and a focus shift from “cost reduction” to “minimal CO2 design” change is needed to reach both 2030 and 2050 targets.

    The SG 11.0-200 DD offshore wind turbine provides a high degree of reliability in demanding offshore wind projects from its strong performance, swift time-to-market, and low risk. The machine features a 200-meter diameter rotor utilizing the 97-meter long Siemens Gamesa B97 Integral Blade. It furthermore provides an increase of 9% in Annual Energy Production compared to the SG 10.0-193 DD offshore wind turbine.

    Van Oord Celebrates Borssele III & IV Offshore Wind Farm

    Borssele III & IV, one of the largest offshore Dutch wind farms, has reached full commissioning. Located 22 kilometres off the Dutch coast and the Province of Zeeland, the wind farm is capable of powering 825,000 Dutch households with renewable electricity. The construction of the 731.5 MW wind farm, with in total 77 MW turbines was completed on-time, with official commissioning on 6 January 2021. As the Balance of Plant contractor for the Borssele III & IV offshore wind farm, Van Oord was responsible for the design, engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the foundations and inter array cables together with the installation of 77 turbines of which the last was installed in November 2020. Cable installation vessel Nexus and trencher Dig-It completed the installation and burial of more than 170 kilometres of inter array cables.

    The Blauwwind consortium consisting of Partners Group, Shell, Diamond Generating Europe, Van Oord and Eneco, won the tender at the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs in June 2016. The wind farm is part of the offshore wind roadmap drawn up by the Dutch government. Financial Close was achieved in June 2018, and the first monopile was installed in October 2019. The wind farm is connected to the Borssele Beta platform, built and operated by TenneT, which converts power from 66Kv to 220 kV and transports it to the onshore electrical substation at Borssele. The connection was completed in July 2020. The 731.5 MW wind farm will supply renewable energy accounting for up to 2.3% of total Dutch electricity demand.

    Weather Hits RWE’s Renewables Electricity Generation in Texas

    The US is experiencing extreme winter weather conditions all the way down to the Gulf region with extremely low temperatures and icing conditions. This has led to a low availability of electricity generation assets in Texas. ERCOT, the Texas grid operator, was forced to order rotating outages affecting millions of customers in Texas. The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott issued Disaster Declaration in response to severe winter weather and President Joseph R. Biden approved Texas Emergency Declaration.

    Freezing temperatures severely reduced power generation across all technologies. Given this general situation, part of RWE’s onshore wind fleet in Texas was also partly out of service from 9 February because of icing and grid issues. The RWE operations teams are continuing to focus their efforts on getting back the affected wind turbines to full operation. Silvia Ortín Rios, Chief Operating Officer (COO) Wind Onshore and Solar Photovoltaics Americas of RWE Renewables said: “Priority number one is to safely resume operations at our production sites. I would like to thank all our employees who are working hard to get through this difficult situation for all families in Texas.”

    The extreme weather conditions also impacted power prices. High electricity demand from residential heating in combination with lower production and power plant availability led to high electricity market prices. As RWE had sold parts of its expected production from wind turbines in advance, the company had to purchase these volumes to fulfill its supply obligations. The already high prices were further increased following an order from the Public Utility Commission directing ERCOT to make adjustments to the prices. This resulted in costs to buy back power increasing further and up to USD 9,000 per megawatt hour (MWh). As a result, the adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) of the Onshore Wind/Solar segment in 2021 are expected to be negatively affected in the range of a low to mid three-digit million euro amount in total.

    Equinor Completes Farm Down of Dogger Bank A & B

    Equinor has closed the agreement to sell a 10% interest in Dogger Bank A (1,200 MW) and Dogger Bank B (1,200 MW) assets to Eni. As part of this transaction Eni has also completed the agreement to purchase a 10% interest in the Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B assets from project partner SSE on the same terms. Following this transaction, the new overall shareholding in Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B is SSE Renewables (40%), Equinor (40%) and Eni (20%).

    Eni entered the Dogger Bank A and B assets effective from financial close of project financing which was reached on 25 November 2020. The total consideration received at closing is GBP 206.4 million.

    The farm down to Eni is Equinor’s third offshore wind transaction in less than two years. The three transactions combined (divestments of non-operated interests in Arkona, Empire Wind /Beacon Wind and Dogger Bank A and B projects) generated an accounting gain of approximately USD 1.5 billion.

    Equinor divested around 2.5 GW capacity in the different project’s stages for the cash consideration just under USD 2 billion. This demonstrates the company’s track record in consistently capturing value from world class assets.

    The A and B phases of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm reached financial close at competitive terms underlining the attractiveness of the UK offshore wind assets and the confidence in the joint venture.

    The third phase of the wind farm, Dogger Bank C (1,200 MW), is being developed under a different timeline. There is no change to the ownership of this phase, in which Equinor and SSE each have a 50% stake.

    Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Generates First Power

    RWE has taken a significant step towards achieving full power at its Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm, with the first generation of electricity. The generation milestone follows the successful delivery of vital onshore and offshore electrical infrastructure on schedule, and despite the challenges of constructing during the Coronavirus pandemic. The RWE-led Triton Knoll project began successfully installing its 90 offshore wind turbines in January and has since completed the required commissioning activities on the project’s transmission system to enable the export of power to the UK National Grid for the first time.

    Triton Knoll offshore wind farm is located over 32 kilometres off the Lincolnshire coast. It is jointly owned by RWE (59%), J-Power (25%) and Kansai Electric Power (16%), with RWE leading both the wind farm’s construction and the long-term operation and maintenance works, on behalf of the project partners. Total planned investment volume amounts to approximately £2 billion.

    First generation is being followed by a period of rigorous testing and commissioning, while the project continues to install the remainder of its 90 Vestas V164-9.5 MW turbines. All turbines are being handled at Able Seaton Port in Teesside where RWE, through Triton Knoll, has invested in establishing new turbine handling capabilities at the port for the first time in its history. Further investments in the region also include the creation of a new, multi-million pound operations base in Grimsby, which will generate up to 70 new, skilled jobs locally.

    Vestas’ Isle of Wight and Fawley blade facilities is at the heart of turbine component production, and has manufactured the V164-9.5 MW turbines. Installation is being carried out by DEME, using the jack-up vessel Wind Osprey, provided by Cadeler.

    With complete turbine commissioning due in 2021, and final project completion expected in early 2022, Triton Knoll wind farm will have an installed capacity of 857megawatts (RWE’s pro rata share: 506 MW), capable of supplying green electricity equivalent to the annual demand of over 800,000 UK homes. At the time of full operation, Triton Knoll will become the largest offshore wind farm operated by RWE, helping maintain RWE’s position as an offshore energy leader, and making a major contribution towards decarbonising the UK’s energy network.

    GE Renewable Wind Blade Manufacturing Plant in Teesside in UK

    GE Renewable Energy announced that it plans to open a new blade manufacturing facility in Teesside in the North East of England. LM Wind Power plans to set up and operate this plant which will be dedicated to the production of its 107-meter- long offshore wind turbine blades, a key component of GE’s Haliade-X, the most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation today. Terms of the construction and financing of the new plant are in advanced stages of negotiation between the interested parties. GE Renewable Energy estimates that this new plant, set to open and start production in 2023, could create up to 750 direct renewable energy jobs and up to 1,500 indirect jobs in the area to support the entire value chain needed to operate this facility. This announcement and commitment support the UK government’s plan to develop jobs, infrastructure, and supply chains to reach its goal to commission 40 GW of offshore wind power by 2030 and become a global leader in green energy.

    As part of that plan, Teesside has just been designated as one of the UK’s newest freeports. GE Renewable Energy’s new blade manufacturing plant will be located on Teesworks, an ideal location to serve the vast offshore wind potential of the North Sea.

    This announcement is the result of strong partnerships built with key stakeholders such as the UK Government, the Tees Valley Mayor, Teesworks and its municipality.

    The Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm, which is located between 125 km and 290 km off the east coast of Yorkshire, would benefit directly from the blades produced at this new plant. The three phases of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, powered by GE’s Haliade-X offshore wind turbine, will have a combined installed generation capacity of 3.6 GW, enough to power six million UK homes. When complete in 2026, it will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm.

    Siemens Gamesa to Supply 30 Turbines to Elawan Energy in Spain

    Siemens Gamesa has signed one of its largest contracts in Spain in terms of capacity. It is a 150 MW agreement with Elawan Energy to supply 30 SG 5.0-145 model turbines, one of the company's most powerful onshore wind turbines, which is increasingly gaining ground in the country, and is especially suitable for sites with medium level winds. The wind complex, formed by three wind farms in the same area – Fuente Álamo, Frontones and Derramador, with 50 MW each - is located in central Spain, in the province of Albacete, and is scheduled to be commissioned in mid-2022. The contract with Elawan also includes a long-term service agreement for a period of 20 years.

    The 150 MW of clean energy that the complex will produce will provide electricity to more than 110,000 households, almost the entire province of Albacete. In addition, its size will help to avoid the emission of nearly 400,000 tonnes of CO2 a year, the equivalent to the emissions of more than 200,000 vehicles. To achieve this CO2 saving, just over six million trees would need to be planted.

    Siemens Gamesa currently has around 15 GW installed across Spain, representing 53% of the total installed capacity in the country, which, according to the latest available data from the Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE), reached 27.5 GW in 2020. Wind power has become the technology with the largest installed capacity in the country for the first time.

    The company will also strengthen its position in Castilla La Mancha, a region where it has been present since 1999 and where it currently has 2,292 MW installed and connected to the grid, 59% of the total installed capacity in the region. To this capacity must be added the 150 MW signed with Elawan.

    The 30 nacelles will be assembled at Siemens Gamesa's plant in Ágreda (Soria), the gearboxes will be produced at the plants in Asteasu (Guipúzcoa), Lerma (Burgos) and the city of Burgos, and the electrical components will be produced at the factories in Reinosa (Cantabria), San Fernando de Henares (Madrid) and Benisanó (Valencia). Siemens Gamesa has nine plants in Spain employing 1,200 people, and 4,500 employees in total in the country.

    Onderzoek Universiteit Utrecht: cable pooling verbetert businesscase van windmolens en zonnepanelen op zee

    Windparken op zee kunnen hun netaansluiting prima delen met offshore drijvende zonneparken. Dat blijkt uit een nieuwe technisch-economische haalbaarheidsstudie van de Universiteit Utrecht.

    De studie draagt de titel ‘Pooling the cable: A techno-economic feasibility study of integrating offshore floating photovoltaic solar technology within an offshore wind park’.

    Niet volledig benut
    De onderzoekers van de Universiteit Utrecht, onder wie professor Wilfried van Sark, stellen in de paper dat door de beperkte capaciteitsfactor van het offshorewindpark het specifieke vermogen van de elektriciteitskabel, die zorgt voor de verbinding met het elektriciteitsnet op land, niet volledig wordt benut.

    Het principe van cable pooling maakt het daarom mogelijk om drijvende zonnepanelen toe te voegen. Met behulp van weergegevens blijkt dat het toevoegen van pv-capaciteit leidt tot gedwongen inperking van de stroomproductie vanwege de maximale kabelcapaciteit, maar tegelijkertijd is dat vrij beperkt als gevolg van de verschillende momenten waarop wind- en zonne-energie wordt opgewekt.

    Subsidie nodig
    De conclusie van de onderzoekers is dat de combinatie van zonnepaneelsysteem op zee en een windpark zowel technisch als economisch voordelig kan zijn. Soms wordt door suboptimale stroomopwekking met windmolens de kabel die elektriciteit naar de kust transporteert niet optimaal benut. Door pv-capaciteit toe te voegen, neemt het kabelgebruik toe. De economische analyse heeft volgens de onderzoekers aangetoond dat de winstgevendheid van de integratie van drijvende zonnepanelen in offshorewindparken afhangt van 2 belangrijke factoren: het marginale vermogen dat door drijvende zonnepanelen aan het stroomnet wordt geleverd en de kosten van het pv-systeem. Het verlagen van de totale kosten voor het offshore-pv-systeem zou resulteren in grotere voordelen. De onderzoekers stellen te hebben laten zien dat er momenteel subsidie nodig is om offshore-zonne-energie te ondersteunen.

    De paper is vervaardigd als onderdeel van het topsectorenproject ‘Comparitive assessment of PV at SEA versus PV on LAND’, oftewel CSEALAND. Binnen dat innovatieproject maken Oceans of Energy en de Universiteit Utrecht ’s werelds eerste wetenschappelijke vergelijking tussen de prestaties van zonnepanelen op (de Noord-)zee met zonnepanelen op land.
