Cost reduction is the key to ensure future
competitiveness of offshore wind power
Turbines
• Reduced part costs
• Higher electricityyield
• Industrialization
BoP/Foundations
• Standard-design
• Industrial manufacturing
• Scales of production
Grid connection
• Reduced complexity
• Smaller platforms
• Innovations
Operation & Service
• Durable parts
• Less maintenance
• Higher availability
The entire system needs to be tackled by cost reduction
Goal: reduction to < 10 euro cts/kWh by 2020 (FID*)
* Final Investment Decision

A new yardstick is needed –
Society‘s Costs of Electricity (SCOE)
Background
• Judging electricity sources only by
LCOE stems from ages where
electricity production was by definition
big-scale and localized at load centers
• With new energy sources entering the
scene, this approach falls short.
Objectives
• Analyze supplementary factors in addition
to LCOE which affect the true cost of
electricity on a macro-economic level
• Provide a comprehensive background for
fact-based and objective decisions on the
future energy mix
• Base all calculation on acknowledged
methods

Siemens Remote Diagnostic Services is fueled by
data analytics that ensures top performance
Approximately 80% of the turbine
alarms handled remotely led to
no call out of technicians.
Approx. 400,000 cases are created
on Siemens turbines yearly, and the
average response time is 10
minutes on turbine alarms.
99,54% of all alarms handled
within the first hour.
Largest offshore fleet in the
industry with the most offshore data.

The Right Tool for the Right Task

Service Operation Vessel - SOV
Development and design of SOV
We have designed and chartered 2
new service operation vessels (SOV)
aimed at efficient far shore and big
scaled service operations for longer
periods. First vessel supplied 2015 and
further vessels are in the pipeline.
SOV operation specifications
• Pax 40
• Sign. wave height access : 2.3 m.
• Cargo: 300sqm/8x 20 feet containers
• Walk to work access systems
• Comfortable accomodation for long
periods far-shore and big projects

Less downtime - higher yield:
• Less weather downtime means
better use of working hours, less
technicians and fast responses
• Wind farm simulation tool and

Efficient use of working hours:
• Less idling during transport means
more efficient working time in the
turbine and fewer technician hours
necessary.
