1 Offshore Wind Infrastructure Application Lab (OWI-Lab) For efficient and reliable offshore wind energy.

2 Sirris Federation for the technology industry Collective centre of the technology industry Non-profit organisation Industry owned Mission: To help companies implement technological innovations

3 Sirris locations Antwerp Offshore Wind Infrastructure Application Lab Ghent Materials Engineering Materials Research Cluster Gent Leuven Mechatronics Technology Coaching Sirris Leuven Composites Application Lab Brussels Software Engineering & ICT Technology Coaching Hasselt Materials Engineering Production Technology Smart Coating Application Lab Liège Additive Manufacturing Materials Engineering Sirris Microfabrication Application Lab Charleroi Additive Manufacturing Bio-manufacturing platform

4 4 th Sirris Application Lab Sirris Leuven Composites Application Lab Sirris Smart Coating Application Lab Sirris Microfabrication Application Lab Offshore Wind Infrastructure Application Lab The Sirris Application labs focus on technological themes that will be crucial for the future of our companies in the coming years.

5 Why OWI-Lab?

6 1) The offshore wind energy market fast expanding! Interesting alternative energy technology Grid parity forecasted in 2030 by IEA (the point that the cost of offshore wind energy becomes equal to the cost of utility power from coal, natural gas, nuclear) EWEA 2011 EWEA 2011 EU MARKET FORECAST: The coming 4 years 12 GW will be installed offshore, this is 3 times the amount of what has been realized over the last 20 years.

7 Belgian pioneering at the North sea Belgium committed to realize 13% of energy mix out of renewable energy 1/3 of this Offshore wind energy - planned offshore wind capacity = 1,6 Giga Watt - Phase 1 = 165 MW Annual generation for inhabitants Phase 2 = + 165MW Phase 1, 2 and 3: 325,20 MW Annual generation for inhabitants 50km Coming up: Northwind, Phase 3 C-Power, Norther, Rental, Seastar, Mermaid

8 2) Creation of jobs and export opportunities Actual figures Source: Agoria 40 % of Belgian wind energy jobs are related to offshore wind Strong potential growth

9 3) Innovation needed to make this industry a succes (?) Harsh environmental conditions (wind loads, temperatures, salt, ) Not so much datasets yet available (or accessible) to optimize components Operations and maintenance (O&M) cost needs to go down to reach grid parity Bigger turbines (12MW in design) ; Bigger means better design

10 What does OWI-lab do? Investing 5.5M in test - and monitoring infrastructure to support (offshore) wind power R&D in the whole industrial value chain 4 investment programs in R&D infrastructure Platform to initiate local and European research projects together with industry and universities (SBO, O&O, FP7, ) Innovation projects with / for companies in the wind power sector

11 Introduction OWI-Lab 09/ / / Development of R&D infrastructure Operationalize infrastructure Expansion of the research infrastructure Innovation projects Proposal OWI-project submitted to the Flemish government Kick-Off OWI-Project Launch OWI-Lab Platform Inauguration OWI-Lab Test Facility 24 Companies / universities participating in user group Kick-off Shared R&D project OptiWind (SBO) Kick-off feasibility study Flanders Wind Farm Test Site

12 Growing industrial involvement 2008 Founding members 2012 Involved partners

13 5.5 mio investments in state-of-the-art test & monitoring infrastructure Stationary and Floating LIDAR (FLIDAR ) Wind turbine component Test Lab with large climate chamber (Temperature testing) Remote measurement & monitoring systems (SHM & CMS) Development of tools for smart O&M

14 1

15 2

16 Why a Large cold climatic test chamber? On- and offshore turbines are standard designed to operate from -10 C to +40 C, this condition has to be tested. Remote locations with extreme temperatures: Finland turbines -40 C Desert of India turbines +50 C need of extreme temperature testing Offshore turbines High O&M costs testing is needed to ensure reliable components in all environmental conditions up to their limits

17 Large cold climatic test chamber Unique test infrastructure in EU Components up to 150 ton -60 C to +60 C +60 C to -40 C air in 1 hour

19 What is next? SBO OWI + expanding the lab Flanders Wind Farm (Offshore test site)
