Challenges are our Opportunities
Offshore Renewable Energy has cost reduction challenges e.g. 30-
40% in offshore wind
ORE Catapult presents opportunities by
• Working with developers, manufacturers and test agencies to enable and prove larger
turbines (lower p/kWh) and their deployment
• Providing new data analysis services to improve project design and installation
efficiencies
• Integrating developers with supply chain to standardise projects, thus enabling new
entrants and allowing innovation to flow
• Continually acting to derisk new technologies, leading to cheaper finance opportunities
• Enabling greater knowledge / lessons learned sharing, with reach into other sectors
e.g. aerospace, oil & gas and the wider Catapult portfolio
An informed and interconnected ORE Catapult
can resolve many sector challenges

Wave & Tidal Innovation Current Status
High UK prospects of IP and manufacturing
Success of world-leading test facility at EMEC and opportunities for Wavehub
Single unit trials are promising
Tidal technologies relatively advanced but need small array deployment for commercial proving
Wave power has leaders but sector generally less well developed
Both sectors have increasing interest from major industrials
Tremendous scope to provide leadership and to resolve common issues, share learning and enable deployment at scale

Equipment Failures – Cost to the Industry
The total lost revenue due to equipment failures to the UK offshore wind industry in 2012 is estimated to be around £150 million*
If the UK meets the 2020 target of 18GW installed capacity without reducing these, it could cost the industry £860 million per year in 2020
* Based on mean failure data (Source: WEP) with assumed 95% availability from experience
Mean cost of failures
£48k per MW installed

Lost revenue £6.5 million
Notes
Generic offshore wind farm comprising 83 x 3.6MW
geared wind turbines
Located 15 km from shore
Service vessels deployed from shore
Model assumes capacity factor 36% and kWh price of

Examples of Improvement Areas
Maintenance Planning
On average, 29% of
maintenance expenditure is
unplanned corrective
maintenance
In some cases, this was as high
as 60%
Cable Repairs
Cable repairs account for up to
80% of offshore issues
Costs vary based on a wide range
of factors, but can be significant
Export cable repair costs range
from £2 million to £5.6 million
