Scottish Supply Chain Capability Offshore Renewable Energy

IntroductionScottish supply chain expertise

The UK market is now the world leader in the development of offshore wind with over 3.5GWs in operation and over 1.5GWs under construction. Scottish companies have utilised their experience from over 40 years of activity in the North Sea oil and gas sector to become an invaluable part of this relatively new supply chain in the UK and Northern European markets.

Scotland also leads the world in the development of ocean energy and its wave and tidal energy sectors have benefitted enormously from this same oil and gas experience. Scottish companies have also pioneered engineering solutions for these new energy technologies and have also been involved in pushing the boundaries of offshore wind into much deeper waters. Scottish companies introduced the idea of using jacket substructure technology to the offshore wind sector to overcome water depth issues that could not be solved by the then existing substructure technologies. Just one example of Scotland’s influence on the global offshore wind industry market.

Exceptional Experience

Scotland’s 40 years of experience in the oil and gas exploration, recovery and exporting markets, has created a wide skills base amongst the 200,000 workforce employed in the sector to develop energy projects in the marine environment.

With over 2,000 companies involved in the development of the North Sea Scotland has an offshore supply chain second to none. By applying this expertise to offshore wind Scottish companies have brought this wealth of knowledge and engineering knowhow to bear on this rapidly expanding market in Europe.

“Scotland has always punched above its weight in delivering engineering solutions which have been adopted globally for over 250 years. Scottish knowhow and inventiveness have shaped the modern world. The field of offshore renewables will bear witness to the continuation of this great tradition.”

Fergus Ewing MSP – Scotland’s Minister for Business, Energy and Tourism

Artemis Intelligent Power has developed the most efficient fluid power technology in the world. This technology is called Digital Displacement® and Artemis performs research and development activities, bringing this technology to market in several application areas. Artemis works closely with industry partners to develop Digital Displacement® systems for a growing range of applications, not least industrial hydraulic pumps and motors and an exciting new application in heavy duty hybrid vehicles.

Digital Displacement® technology was invented as a power take-off for wave power devices and later applied to other applications with challenging power transmission requirements.

Artemis is owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and has worked with them to develop a unique, gearless power transmission for very large offshore wind turbines. This is the world’s largest hydrostatic transmission with a power throughput of 7MW.

MHI is installing the first demonstration turbine at the Hunterston test site in Scotland and are interested in supplying this new transmission technology to other turbine manufacturers to incorporate into their drive trains.

The core valve components that enable this technology are manufactured in Artemis’ ISO9001 registered manufacturing environment. Artemis also develops the core control software and electronics hardware at its facility near Edinburgh.

Artemis has development and lifetime test facilities for hydraulic equipment up to 4MVA with systems setup for unattended and continuous endurance testing. A powerful data acquisition suite on each test stand allows torque measurement up to 1MNm

and flow measurement to 8000l/min with a multitude of other data streams to be logged and analysed.

Atkins, with a proud track record in offshore engineering, offer a comprehensive range of engineering services to developers, fabricators, OEMs and financial institutions to support offshore wind development and assessment.

Offshore Substations

Atkins was commissioned by McNulty to undertake the detailed design of the Galloper substation and control hub platform. Atkins undertook complete structural and systems design and utilised a wide range of resources from across the company, including structural, utilities, electrical, architectural, mechanical, communications and safety disciplines. Fabrication and installation of the 2,000 tonne OSP, which transforms the electricity produced by individual turbines from 33kV to 132kV for transmission, was completed in June 2010.

Atkins has since won a number of further offshore substation contracts for the design of the complete substation including foundations, substructures and multidisciplinary topsides. This includes more than 5 substations for Race Bank, Burbo Bank extension and Walney 3 for Dong Energy plus other wind farms such as Thanet and Lincs.

To compliment, Atkins also offer full electrical wind farm services, such as substation design, inter array studies & cable design & installation. Currently Atkins are involved in an in depth electrical FEED study for a Round 3 wind farm in Scottish waters.

Substructures

Atkins has a great range of substructure experience and innovation, particularly within ‘jackets’ and monopiles.

Atkins has worked closely with BiFab, the leading fabricator of jacket substructures for the offshore renewables sector, to substantially reduce the capital cost of


offshore wind through the development of an innovative transition piece and substructure. Recognising that much of the cost of early jacket solutions was in the fabrication of complex transition pieces, Atkins and BiFab developed a smaller, simpler design that reduces fabrication costs by 30-40% based on large scale orders. A design which is being developed for Beatrice Wind Farm under the SSE Alliance Framework. Atkins have also carried out geotechnical studies and Client Rep services for Beatrice as well as E.ON Rampion Wind Farm.

Atkins believe the concept will be the most cost-effective solution for many Round 3 and Scottish Territorial Waters sites as well as many European sites planning to use larger 6-8MW turbines.

For monopiles, Atkins is expanding the capabilities of the proven monopile foundation with larger monopile diameters and deeper water depths via the detailed design of a UK Round 3 offshore project.

Grouted Connection Remedial Works

Atkins is involved in the full lifecycle of projects and offer services in the investigation and application of remedial solutions for grouted monopile connections. This experience has allowed a comprehensive understanding of the behaviour and design of such connections to be developed and feeds back into our substructure designs for continual improvements.

Bifab specialise in the transfer of oil and gas jacket substructure technology to the offshore wind market. Bifab have a strong track record of successful projects for jacket sub-structures for offshore wind farms. After completion of the Beatrice Demonstrator project where BiFab delivered the two deep-water jacket substructures, the company have now delivered projects for the supply of a further 41 jacket substructures.

These are for:

Ormonde Field Development UK – Vattenfall

Alpha Ventus German Offshore Project – DOTI

Greater Gabbard - Fluor/SSE/RWE

Gwynt Y Mor - RWE Npower

BiFab have also supplied Tripod components to the Global Tech 1 project, located in German, North Sea.

Mass Manufacturing:

During the construction of the two Jacket Substructures for the Beatrice project. Talisman, SSE and BiFab commissioned the University of Strathclyde to carry out a detailed study on the various manufacturing processes involved, with an aim to maximising the total number of sub structures that we could build in a year. This study is now complete and we are aware of the final costings of the proposed new buildings at our Methil, Fife facilities. This proposal would take our current production capacity at Methil from 60 structures to between 100 and 150 structures per year. We intend to have this new facility 100% operational by end 2016.

BiFab believe that Scotland’s proximity to the North Sea and Baltic Sea, together with the experience gained from the above projects, including expertise available at the University of Strathclyde and other educational institutions, places our facilities in a unique position to develop the world’s first mass manufacturing facility to produce large offshore sub structures cost effectively.

We recognise that this is an expanding market and we are very keen to see this kind of technique be used more widely throughout the offshore wind industry.

Innovation – New Jacket Design BiFab / Atkins:

Based on experience gained from recently completed offshore wind farm projects, BiFab and Atkins have developed their own Jacket Substructure to support offshore WTG. This design is jointly 50:50 patented and capable of supporting a range of turbines from 3MW to 8.0MW in water depths 15metres down to 80 metres. This is a lightweight structure, with potential savings in both weight and manufacturing costs, along with the potential to loadout more structures per barge due to the reduced foot print at the base of the jacket.
