The two international engineering companies *) will present successful
and recent offshore wind energy projects, as well as their expanded
range of services. This covers technical and scientific as well as energy-
production aspects of offshore wind power plants. In accordance with
client requirements they have capabilities for all project phases. Starting
with the project idea and technical and economic feasibility, through
yield-optimised wind farm configuration including the related wind
turbine assessments, consultancy in the fields of foundation concepts
and procurement strategies. For construction this includes erection and
commissioning, up to active attendance of the economic operation
phase.
*) In December 2014 Tractebel Engineering acquired the Lahmeyer Group. Lahmeyer now is an independent business unit of Tractebel Engineering, and thus also part of the GDF SUEZ Group. Lahmeyer and Tractebel Engineering rank among the largest international engineering companies providing consultancy services for public and private clients.
Advice for Investors and Owners
The experts support European offshore wind energy projects and give
advice to investors, lenders, and owners on technical and economic
issues.
Besides technical Due Diligence studies they perform detailed analyses.
This way Lahmeyer has validated numerous projects by means of in-
house calculations and energy yield assessments (often focused on wake
losses, overall efficiency or O&M strategies). In addition, the specialists
verify investment costs (CAPEX) and review operating costs (OPEX) in
detail.
Tractebel Engineering shows their comprehensive experience for
planning and implementation of offshore projects, mainly focusing on
electro-technical concepts.
Comprehensive Project Experience
The expert teams dispose of comprehensive experience for wind
energy projects. For example, they have worked on more than 600
projects with installed capacities of more than 80 GW. They
performed Due Diligence studies, evaluated wind potentials, and
developed feasibility studies. Moreover, their tasks involved wind
mappings, installation of met mast wind measuring systems, erection
supervision, and operation and maintenance supervision.
In addition, Tractebel Engineering and Lahmeyer International have
already participated in some 100 offshore wind projects with a total
capacity of more than 25 GW in the North Sea and Baltic Sea, in
North America and Asia.
Recent Projects
Lahmeyer International supports the investment company Macquarie
Capital Europe as Technical Consultant for the acquisition of shares of
the 288 MW offshore wind farm EnBW Baltic 2 in the Baltic Sea. Project
closure is expected to take place in summer 2015, simultaneously with
the final commissioning of the offshore wind farm presently under
construction.
Tractebel Engineering has been Owner’s Engineer for C-Power (Belgium)
throughout all 3 project phases. This large offshore wind park on the
Thornton Bank off the Belgian coast involves 54 wind turbines with a
total capacity of 325 MW and generates over 1 000 GWh per year.
Services provided are wind turbine and substructure package
management as well as support to the procurement. For this assistance,
15 employees have been involved on a continuous basis in the site
management and coordination. Other services for this project include
site investigation campaigns, design basis and conceptual design of
foundations in development phase, contractual technical requirements
and owner’s engineer role during construction throughout the different
phases of the project.
