Impact Action
1. Other EA windfarms
standards and promote a serial production ethos to fabrication Maximising the opportunity within the tier 2 and 3 supply chain to standardise their offering for primary and secondarymaterial (steel pipes & tubes) Challenging EA1’s installation provider to optimise the installation plan using the latest vessels and installation techniques [3.2.6]
Array cable EPCI
EA1 partners are involved in a range of key R&D projects, including: OWA Cable TechnicalWorking Group. TSB’s Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult projects in relation to the testing of 66kV cables, fabrication techniques for new innovative foundation designs and exploring blade fatigue in relation to the offshore environment. [3.2.8] Innovation specific to EA1 includes: First to adopt new 66kV technology. Increased early engagement. [3.2.8]
Grid Transmission SystemEPCI EA1 partners are involved in a range of key
Further optimisation of 66kV technology will follow early use of EA1. Future EA projects will gainmost learning fromEA1, helping to reduce LCOE further still, through improved reliability and optimised design.
As 66kV technology is likely to be used on all windfarms with 6MWturbines and larger,most SPR/Vattenfall projects will benefit, where information can be shared, with the same impact as Column 1.
This is a key area of The learning ANNEX 6
2. Other offshore windfarms owned by SPR/Vattenfall
package where today’s designs are immature.
3. Offshore windfarms owned by others
4.Wave and tidal projects owned by SPR/Vattenfall
5.Wave and tidal projects owned by others
6. The wider low carbon generation sector
Asmuch of the innovation will be in the supply chain, accessible to other projects, in time benefit will spread.
Wave and tidal projects are unlikely to use offshore 66kV technology, so benefits will be limited.
As for Column 4.
Limited technology innovation will be applicable outside of offshore wind.
