sector:

GBS ELISA Project, with GAMESA 5MW WTG, funded by the European Commission:

www.elisaoffshore.com. It is under construction in the Canary Islands ant it is set to

become the first (May 2017) bottom-fixed offshore wind turbine completely installed

with full independence of costly and scarce heavy-lift vessels.

TELWIND Project, is focused on the development of a revolutionary floating platform

for the production of windenergy, allowing a qualitative leap in reducing construction

and installation cost, thanks to the telescopic tower and its multibody floating

substructure geometry (evolved SPAR). This allows faster on-site setup, excluding

dependence on the availiability of heavy-lift vessels. This project has been supported

- Development of Multiuse floating platforms.

Inside this development of Multiuse floating platforms, EnerOcean is leading the effort of several SMEs

in bringing to the market the W2Power concept, patented by our partly owned company Pelagic Power

AS.

The W2Power concept is an integrated semisubmersible floating platform that holds two

multimegawatt wind turbines (producing up to 10 MW, 2x 5MW).

The base platform has reach a TRL5 by intense tank testing and will be demonstrated at sea and reach

TRL 6 during 2018, by a fully functional scaled prototype that will be installed at PLOCAN in the

framework of the European project H2020 DEMOWIND ERANET WIP10+, with funding of the

European Commission, The British government and CDTI.

Additionally the platform can hold up to 10 wave energy converters, specifically design for its

integration into the platform, providing an addition of 3 to 4 MW. This wave converters and its control

have already reach TRL4-TRL5 by component and integrated tank testing.

Finally is possible to integrate other functions into the platform, like energy storage or a farm size

substation, including a offshore aquaculture fish cage.

The integration of the aquaculture and wind energy feasibility and their synergies has been studied into

the framework of the FP7 MARINA and FP7 TROPOS project, for the North Sea and the

Mediterranean.

Summary:

Specify the following aspects

- Product/process/service to be developed

- Necessity of such new development

- Expected R&D Activity during the project

- Expected R&D Activity by your company

New Product:

A specific platform combining wind energy and aquaculture production suitable for the conditions of the

Japanese surrounding seas will be developed, this innovative solution could produce up to 10 MW of

electricity while holding a 40000 m3 fish cage, able to produce up to 360 Tn/yr of salmon or other high

value fish.

Need of the development:

Japan as Spain, doesn`t have a continental shelf that allows for fixed foundation to developed additional

wind energy capacity. Floating solutions are a solution however the cost of the structure is still very high.

Additionally both countries are among the main consumers per capita of fish, with high external

dependence for its production, offshore aquaculture could allow for smaller environmental impact, better

water quality and better fish quality production, but the cost of supplying the food to the fish, and the

infrastructure to power supply and mooring of the cages are very high.

By combining the two marine uses, is possible to increase a wind farm revenue up to a 30%, with a very

little increase in CAPEX (the platform is use to hold the fish cage) and a big reduction in OPEX (energy

supply directly from the wind farm and a significant fish feeding silos capacity, reducing number of visits

to the cages), additionally a better Marine Space Planning is possible by colocation of both activities.

R&D activity during the project:

- Study of global wind and wave interaction with the combined platform considering

meteorological conditions in the Japanese waters.

- Selection of more suitable fish species and preliminary dimensioning and operation strategies

selection.

- Potential global control of the combined platform in order to reduce stresses over the platform,

the fish cages and the internal fish population, while keeping a significant power production.

- Specific mooring designs for very deep waters (platform to seafloor) and between platform and

fish-cage.

- ….

R&D activity of EnerOcean S.L.:

- EnerOcean has capacity to lead conceptually the project, and can support in the development

of the control strategies.

X Renewable energy



☐ Environment technology



☐ Biotechnology


Summary:

The objective of the collaborative project is to develop a new floating wind turbine concept including the

supporting structure using the NAUTILUS technology. The project will include the design, the manufacture,

the installation and the validation of a prototype of a floating wind turbine in an experimental site in Japan.

As it is well known in the industry that the future development of fixed offshore wind farms is quite limited.

Sites with specific conditions like depth under 50m, sand sea bed and proximity to populated sites are only

found in some specific areas of the world (North Sea, Baltic Sea and some places in USA and China). In

order to harvest offshore wind energy in other regions, it is necessary to go to deep water places in which

fixed bottom solutions are no longer an option. Here it comes the floating solutions in which wind turbines

are supported by a floating structure that provides enough stability to keep the turbine working.

As it is easily recognized, the dynamic behaviour of the floating wind turbine becomes a complex problem

and a lot of R&D activities have to take place in order to assure a minimum cost solution without any

dynamic problems. Detailed knowledge about the Interactions between the aerial part and hydro part have

to be developed and this is the crucial R&D topic of this project. Wind turbine control have to be adapted to

the floating platform in order to extract the maximum amount of energy without compromising device

stability. Regarding manufacturing, it is expected the development of advanced techniques in order to

reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE), a well-established requirement for this technology to succeed.

Also, installation and validation strategies will require advanced procedures that will have to be investigated.

NAUTILUS R&D activity will be focused in the adaptation of its concept to the specific site metocean

conditions and specific wind turbine. Tests in a tank basin will be carried out to assure a good matching

between simulated behaviour and real (scaled) behaviour. Also the definition, and implementation of the

design validation scheme will be a major topic in this activity.

OFFSHORE WIND PROTOTYPE – Bottom Fixed / Floating

Technology Field

(Click a box)







☐ Biotechnology


Summary:


- Product/process/service to be developed

Advanced low cost bottom fixed / floating platforms for offshore wind

- Necessity of such new development

Japan and Spain have to develop their respective offshore wind markets. Nevertheless a great

opportunity exists to develop innovative low cost solutions for both bottom fixed and floating wind.

The bottom fixed market will offer the first commercial opportunities before the end of this decade,

with very good prospects for floating solutions for the next one.

Current bottom fixed structure designs are reaching maturity, but they are heavily reliant in port

infrastructures and purposely made construction vessels. Innovative concrete floating gravity

foundations with self erecting towers could avoid the need for special or additional expensive

ancilliary means and also shorten the time to market, as well as developing unique technological

capacities for export to many other countries.

Jacket foundations have strong design influence from legacy marine structures, but they are hardly

optimised for the dynamic loads of windturbines. This offers interesting opportunities for new design

solutions, such as cast nodes, that offer not only better functionalities but also standard

manufacturing of components.

Floating solutions have been either made of steel or bulk concrete, but optimised designs based on

pre-stressed concrete. These may allow lighter structures with added functionalities and they may

serve multipurpose objectives, such as fish farms. Also these configurations may be suitable for

multirotor implementations breaking with the cubic law increasing the mass of larger turbines.


3 / 4

- Expected R&D Activity during the project

All of the above mentioned new product opportunities involve a great deal of R&D that could also be

performed collaboratively because it involves different sectors such as wind turbine manufacturing,

naval and construction industries.

The technology readiness level of the necessary development is high, close to market product

demostrations. The concepts are known and many have been tested at smaller scales, but it is

necessary to carry out important dynamic optimisations to match the different elements involved in

order to make them cost effective in the competitive energy world. All the resulting components will

also have to be fully tested to demonstrate their reliability.

Dynamic optimisations do not imply only calculations and a set of equations with restrictions. In

offshore wind structures they imply the development of advanced control algorithms that

compromise loads, production and , mooring, structural and functional designs. Each solution needs

its own ad hoc developments in control in order to achieve its maximum competitiveness.

- Expected R&D Activity by your company

CENER can contribute to these types of developments with:

- High added value testing of Nacelle system and related subsystems - Including simulations and

smartdata analysis for maintenance optimisation and life extension.

- Concept selection and validation

- Fit for purpose substructure designs

- Mooring lines dynamic optimisation

- Multivariable wind turbine control systems

- Advanced aerodynamic rotor design

And of course we can always support with effective supply chain matchmaking amongst our wide

network of clients and suppliers.



We would like to explore alternative counterparts for Component manufacturers (Blades, castings,

forgings, Gearboxes, mooring lines, etc), Sensor & Monitoring Services, Wind Turbine OEMs, Naval

Shipyards, Construction companies, etc.

needs in terms of facilities, materials, technologies, etc.)

We are looking for partners that have strong manufacturing capabilities.



Ideally the partner companies should have a good positioning in Japan and Asia, but they should also

have a wider target, so that building relationships in Europe may help them to expand their activity

globally.


please provide the information on when?, which companies? (You do not need to provide your

experience with companies in your own country)

We have already started to explore some of these ideas with HITACHI as the leading wind turbine

OEM in Japan.
