Goals of WAB
- Support regional innovative structures for wind
energy - Strengthen wind energy network in
Northwest-German coastal region - Initiate and facilitate research, development and
demonstration project for on- and offshore wind
energy - Facilitate cooperation between wind and maritime
industry - Offshore - Initiate and coordinate qualification and
education projects - Identification of necessary structures and
ressources for offshore wind

Licensed wind farms in the North Sea
WAB members
10
Applications for offshore wind farms
- 9 licences have been granted by the federal
licensing authority BSH in the North Sea - Max. 80 Turbines per wind farm
- 3.5 5 MW turbines proposed
- 2,000 3,000 MW rated power, depending on
turbine size - Value 3 6 Billion
11
Offshore Issues
- Prototyping 5 MW class turbines onshore needed
- Development, design and serial production of
tripod foundations for water depths gt25 meter - Operation logistics transport due to port
distance - Improved reliability

Political RD Strategy
- Strategy by the Federal State of Bremen developed
in 2002 - Focus on offshore needs
- Industry network building
- Wind Energy Agency Bremerhaven/Bremen
- fk-wind additional scientific network
- Infrastructure development for prototyping and
offshore serial production - Support program of RD-Projects
14
RD program support characteristics
- Supported projects need to be strong business
driven - Projects relatively close to market needs and
realisation - 50.000 - 200.000 funding per project
- 50 funding limit for businesses
- 75 funding limit for scientific institutes
- Focus on offshore-related projects
15
RD supported projects
- 2000-2006 More than 60 projects
- Overall funding approx. XYZ Million
- Main project focus was on offshore (as intended)
- Many developments also suitable for onshore use

Example 1 Turbine development
- Multibrid Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH
- Multibrid M5000 Turbine
- 5 MW, specially designed for offshore use
- Single stage robust planetary 110 gear
- Special air conditioning system using tower as
overpressure chimney - Comparatively low nacelle weight of approx. 300
tonnes - Operating since December 2004
- Research on operation, materials, climate
influences
18
Example 2 Tripod-Foundations
WeserWind GmbH Offshore Construction
Georgsmarienhütte
- Optimised tripod design
- Weight reduction
- Serial manufacturing
- Cost optimisation
- Combination with concrete elements
- Corrosion protection
- Installation possibilities
- Will be installed onshore with 2nd Multibrid
M5000 Prototype in 2006
19
Example 3 Infrastructure Luneort
BIS, Bremerhaven economic development agency
- Development of industrial harbour site Luneort
for offshore wind development - Full logistical analysis of offshore value chain
- Simulation of logistical processes on-site
- Development of a tailor-made concept for area
development
20
Example 4 Output power forecasting
Meteocontrol GmbH / Energy Meteo Systems GmbH
- Optimized offshore wind farm power prediction
model - Using physical turbine characteristics
- Forecast of offshore turbine loads for OM
- Improved forecast of power output for grid
operators - 15 minutes resolution of forecast
21
Example 5 Dynamic foundation loads
- Meteorological mast Amrumbank West
- Built by Hochtief AG and WeserWind GmbH
- 90 meters high,22 meters water depth
- Commissioned by Essent Wind Deutschland GmbH,
E.ON
- RD project by Windforce GmbH
- WAVEMON dynamic load monitoring system
- Glass fibre fast load analysis
- Installed in foundation to analyse wave loads

Conclusion
- Succesfull regional RD programme
- Focus on near-market industry needs is decisive
in this stage of offshore wind development - Inclusion of other regional sectors expertise
(aircraft, material research, maritime) necessary
to reach critical mass and to create added value - The RD program created strong links between
industry and (a distributed) scientific community - Financial project size fits industry needs well
- Clear view on overall regional business
innovation developments needed in advance
