24 PIONEERING NORTH SEA

25 INTRODUCING AREG Created in 2004 To help transfer oil and gas expertise into renewables agenda To mutual benefit Image and awareness of Aberdeen Make Aberdeen as famous for renewables as it is for oil and gas

26 INTRODUCING AREG Public-private - board of directors 160 members public sector, research and development, education, oil and gas operators, engineers, consultants All Energy conference 10 years Active in all renewable sectors

29 CONSTRAINTS

30 EOWDC FINAL LAYOUT

31 RENEWABLE TEST CENTRES Wind Marine EMEC Beatrice Frederikshavn Aberdeen Høvsøre (Risø) Myres Hill (TUV NEL) NaREC Kaiser-Wilhelm-Koog (WINDTEST) Cuxhaven (DEWI) Wilhelmshaven (DEWI) Wieringermeer (ECN) Wave Hub Grevenbroich (WINDTEST) Spain: WINDTEST and others USA: NREL

32 TEST CENTRE OUTCOMES Site has a good wind source Large offshore skills base Academic centre Good access Relatively benign marine environment Range of water depths

33 A Stepping Stone to Round 3 The Crown Estate Round 3 Timeline and the WDC timetable.

34 AUGUST 2010 OFFSHORE WIND DEMONSTRATION SITES

35 CROWN ESTATE DEMONSTRATION SITES Four awarded in August 2010 Will play a key part in addressing the technical and cost challenges of offshore wind development Will facilitate construction further from shore, and in deeper waters Were awarded following an application process Were limited to less than 100 MW capacity

36 CROWN ESTATE DEMONSTRATION SITES European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre Vattenfall and Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG) To test and demonstrate up to 11 next generation offshore wind turbines

37 CROWN ESTATE DEMONSTRATION SITES Blyth Offshore Wind Demonstration Site NaREC To test and demonstrate up to 20 next generation offshore wind turbines

38 CROWN ESTATE DEMONSTRATION SITES Methil Offshore Wind Farm 2-B Energy Two demonstration turbines

39 CROWN ESTATE DEMONSTRATION SITES Gunfleet Sands extension DONG Two next generation demonstration turbines

40 Opportunities: Foundations R3 needs perhaps 8000 foundation structures in water depths from feet wet to 50m Current designs (monopiles, jackets, tripods) need to evolve: weight reductions and serial manufacture followed by type approval. New designs need to be constructed and deployed to gain experience. WDC focuses on 12m to 30m water depth and evolution to existing designs.

41 Opportunities: Construction O&G construction fleet will be called upon for R3 Track record to date is variable Opportunity to construct for a benign and understanding client. Gain experience of new technologies first

42 Opportunities: Vocational Training Aberdeen Helicopter Operator: We currently use a site 100km offshore Aberdeen for training our pilots and crews, and would be very interested in having a closer platform.

43 Opportunities: Vocational Training Vocational training centres can be commercially viable, but access to realistic assets for on the job training is difficult to arrange. Western Power Faraday Centre: Middlesborough

44 Opportunities: Offshore Commercial Lab Space New offshore instruments are being developed and need to establish track record. Deployment in the marine environment is the acid test of offshore reliability.

45 Opportunities: Academic Lab Space You bring the experiment, we provide the platform: we both share the results with industry. Shaping industry Best Practise through scientific research. Understanding the environment and Cumulative Impact

46 Opportunities: O&M Trials & Training

47 Opportunities: O&M + Logistics Hub
