Our Delivery


Our Knowledge Areas

• We focus on 6 Knowledge Areas

• Key areas to drive technology innovation to lower the cost of

offshore renewable energy


Acquisition and

Evaluation

Benchmarking Services

Operational Performance

O&M Knowledge Area


describes projects, products

and services which utilise

operational data and best

practice from wind farms to

improve performance and

reliability.

Data Acquisition &

Evaluation refers to

technologies, tools and

methodologies used for

inspecting, monitoring,

and measuring wind farm

performance and

reliability.

Benchmarking Services describe projects,

products and services which facilitate the

collection, storage and benchmarking of wind

farm performance and reliability data.


Acquisition and

Evaluation



Data Acquisition and Evaluation

Levenmouth 7MW R&D Turbine

• Clone of the Levenmouth Turbine (CLOWT)

Innovation Challenges:

• Blade Leading Edge Erosion

• Survey cost reductions (AUVs and UAVs)

• Metocean forecasting improvements

• Asset lifetime management (cables, blades)

Data Acquisition & Evaluation

refers to technologies, tools and

methodologies used for inspecting,

monitoring, and measuring wind

farm performance and reliability.


Acquisition and

SPARTA

• System Performance,

Availability and Reliability Trend Analysis

• Joint initiative sponsored by ORE Catapult and The

Crown Estate

• Benchmarking tool for offshore wind farms – UK

initially, but can incorporate non-UK

• Leads to identification of operational improvement

opportunities driving sector innovation and reduction

in LCoE

WEBS

• Wind Energy Benchmarking Services

• Flexible platform initially for onshore wind farms

Innovation Challenges:

• Construction Benchmarking

• Building Information Modelling (BIM)


describe projects, products and

services which facilitate the

collection, storage and

benchmarking of wind farm

performance and reliability data.

Knowledge Sharing

• O&M Forum

• Representation from all UK owner operators

• Identifying areas to collaborate, innovate, share

learning and best practice to improve performance

and drive down costs.

• O&M Case Studies

• Based on in-depth interviews with operations

teams at UK wind farms.


O&M Case Studies

O&M Strategies

Scheduled

maintenance

- fixed time or

usage intervals

Corrective

maintenance

- No inspection

until breakdown

Condition-based

maintenance

- continuous or

occasional

monitoring

Reliability-centred

maintenance

- Continuous

monitoring and

anticipated failure

Service Excellence JIP

O&M Forum raised concerns regarding generic approaches to

scheduled maintenance (SM).

• SM is not currently optimised, annual service is not regularly

completed on time and this can lead to unplanned forced outages and

cost inefficiencies.

• Site specific characteristics mean that a generic approach to

scheduled maintenance may not be optimum.

• Knowledge sharing between sites does not happen at a detailed level.



Opportunity

A better understanding on how the industry is

collectively approaching scheduled maintenance,

both within and out of warranty, can help to identify

opportunities and solutions to optimise cost and

revenue

Solution

Information sharing amongst providers of offshore

O&M can help to promote best practice and achieve

cost and revenue optimisation through more

targeted scoping and planning of scheduled

maintenance


Service Excellence JIP - Objectives

1. Baseline current practices and frequencies for scheduled

maintenance.

2. Identify areas of best practice, variability and opportunities to

implement bespoke approaches.

3. Identify gaps in knowledge and capability which need to be addressed.

4. Understand potential limitations to introducing changes to scope of

service and risk mitigation strategies.

5. Deliver a report to the JIP partners by Q2 2017 that provides a

baseline of the state of scheduled maintenance across the UK offshore

wind sector

6. Recommend future collaborative engineering projects aimed at

improving the quality and reducing the costs of scheduled

maintenance.


Service Excellence JIP - Technical Areas

Health and Safety Baseline Service Plans/Strategies

Record Management and Quality Assurance

Component-Specific Technical

Service Excellence JIP - Benefits

• Understanding of best practice and variability across operators

• Identifying new approaches to undertake scheduled maintenance that

drive improved performance and lower costs;

• Knowledge on how to plan ‘site specific’ scheduled maintenance;

• Identification of common challenges and opportunities for

improvements;

• Reliable knowledge to facilitate informed discussions between asset

owners and warranty/service providers.


Service Excellence JIP - Future Outlook

Acquisition and

Evaluation



Phase 1
