EUROS
Excellence in Uncertainty Reduction of Offshore wind Systems
• urgent need for solid scientific knowledge on which uncertainties predominantly affect cost of
energy and how a combination of uncertainties can best be dealt with, avoiding unnecessary addition of safety factors.
• EUROS provides knowledge and models that close this knowledge gap.
• EUROS covers three interrelated subjects:1 External conditions: models predicting uncertainty of wind and wave conditions and soil
conditions2 Loads and damage: models for failure mechanisms, dynamic fluid-structure-soil interaction and uncertainty of wind farm loads
3 Wind farm models: uncertainty model of a wind farm and structural reliability of the support structure.
• Project duration: 2015-2019

JIP Cables - slide 2/2
• Offshore cables have a fiber optic cable installed for communication and
remote sensing.• The fiber optic can provide accurate information about the state of the
cable and the surroundings.
• By measuring the state of the cable the burial depth can be accurately determined.

In coming years hundreds of monopiles installed for European offshore wind farms.
Roughly 25 % of wind farm investment spend on foundations ≈ 5 billion € until 2020
NS-VIP : Foundation installation costs can be reduced by > 5% through
• Faster installation
• Less noise, i.e. no expensive noise mitigation measures
• Lower loads i.e. lighter pile designs (longer design life)

DemoWind 2 – Anchor penetration trials
7 juli 2016
motivation
• A study conducted 2013 by TenneT and BSH in the German Bight revealed that penetration behaviour of dragged ship anchors is less than anticipated
Aims• Gather sufficient evidence to determine ‘Depth of
Lowering’• Increase confidence amongst stakeholders• Build comprehensive database
• Deduct and/or confirm experimental scaling functions• Develop a practical engineering tool for prediction of
‘Depth of Lowering’ for future projects
• Further develop and verify numerical model
Benefits
• Substantial savings in cable installation (selection of lessexpensive tools, reduced offshore time)
• Less environmental impact to marine life and the sea
bed
