Case Study: Floating Wind + Facility Life Extension
The opportunity:
• Client (confidential) aims to reduce emissions offshore:
o Replace generation with new, more efficient equipment?
o Maximise energy from renewable sources?
o Find an optimal arrangement to guarantee continuity? (e.g. % fromrenewables, import/export cable,hybrid solution)

• Provide enough energy to meet the annual consumption
• Consider the natural weather variability
• Provide enough power at peak demand
• Capture efficiency (oversupply/undersupply)
• How do we store the energy?
• Can we release enough power from the stored energy?
The challenges:

Case Study: Floating Wind + Facility Life Extension
Key feasibility elements:
• Assessment of facility power demand (profile and magnitude)
• Energy yield analysis and turbine sizing e.g. (6 MW, 8 MW, 10 MW)
• Constraints mapping.
• Meeting 100% of peak demand 100% of the time? Or offsetting generation?
• Hindcast analysis of synchronised energy supply / demand trends and storage buffering efficiency
• Cable routing and tie-in to the existing facilities
• Operation and maintenance factors (i.e. power management, maintenance, access windows)
• Suitability of different floating structures
• Outline CAPEX and OPEX

Case Study: Floating Wind + Facility Life Extension
Outcomes:
• Extremely high capacity factors (70-80% in winter months)
• Wind vs. demand needs further analysis
• Peak power (start-up) + base energy load = critical
• Export cable opportunity
o Reliable power management
o Revenue generation
• Smooth with other renewables on infrastructure
• Re-focus – why are we doing this?
o Maximise opportunities for CO2 reductions
o Opportunity is there

So what are the opportunities now, for our future?
• Portfolio level approach
• Renewable power generation is feasible
• technical + commercial innovations can help
• Relationship with other industries
• power generators
• energy users
• Low carbon technology integration concepts
• Solar + wave + tidal + wind + …
• Remote monitoring
• Deepwater tie backs…
