- 1. Next Generation Wind Farm Optimisation using WindArchitectTM
- 2. We are Uniper 2 Main activities: Employee data December 31, 2015. Capacity figures April 26, 2016.
- 3. We are independent of equipment and component suppliers, giving us freedom to choose the best solution for clients We are a one-stop shop offering a broad range of services that work closely together, reducing complexity and risk for clients Our background as an asset owner/operator gives us deep understanding of the energy industry and our clients’ needs More than one hundred years in energy… …and 20 years in offshore wind
- 4. Source: NewEnergyUpdate Why is financial optimisation important?
- 5. • Not only wake optimisation but… • LCoE: Levelised Cost of Energy • CoE: (𝑑𝑣𝑝+𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡+𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟+𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚) 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑑 • This is where the industry is operating – competitive bid structures are assessed against financial measures. • This is much more closely aligned to a company’s bottom line – your project will be assessed against a financial metric internally • Holistic approach – drives effective communication • We don’t get the same final layout! Financial Optimisation
- 6. Wind Yield Environment ElectricalDev.L & V Civil “Optimum Layout" Site Suitability O&M Land Leasing Financial Optimisation
- 7. Substation Parameters Intra-Array routing Cable Selection Cost “Optimum Layout" Export Cable Electrical Losses CAPEX WTG Locations Cable Array Optimisation
- 8. So lets see how this can work in practise using Uniper’s WindArchitectTM software: • Offshore site • Fixed substation location • Neighbouring wind farm • Buildable area is sub-divided • 400MW maximum capacity • Next generation turbines Wind Farm Optimisation
- 9. • Optimise for LCoE • Start from a ‘traditional layout’ but it is quickly apparent that the optimal solution is different • WindArchitectTM is balancing revenue and expenditure over the lifetime of the wind farm Case Study
- 10. • Final layout is not the same as a yield optimised solution • Balancing of cost vs. production has driven a reduction in CAPEX €14.5m in this case study • CableArchitectTM has been used to provide a full cable solution Case Study
- 11. • 10’s of thousands of layouts which are stored and evaluated • Historically this information is thrown away but exploration of this data can provide significant value-add • Rank order of turbines in a layout based on ‘impact’ on LCoE Benefits: Provides greater flexibility to the project team – providing choices that all deliver high returns. Value added through Analytics
- 12. Are all turbine locations equal? Benefits: Supports discussion with consultees – know the locations that are worth fighting for and those that you can give ground on. Value added through Analytics
- 14. Layout Design Uniper uses WindArchitectTM to support the design of a large European offshore wind farm. Turbine assessment and layout design optimisation were performed. LCoE reduction: 3% Cabling Design Uniper uses CableArchitectTM to support the electrical design of a large European offshore wind farm. Cable routing & sensitivity studies. Cable reduction: 4km Benefits
- 15. • Financial optimisation is integral to minimising LCoE for Offshore Wind and needs to be built into the fabric of a project’s development • Uniper’s WindArchitectTM & CableArchitectTM solution have been used to analyse a wind farm and highlight the importance of moving away from traditional design methods • Financial optimisation delivers substantial benefits to project development – both through process improvement and value creation Conclusions
Editor's Notes
- Uniper operates across a broad range of technological and geographical markets, offering services across the entire energy value chain. We are the 4th largest power generator in Europe, with over 31 GW of installed capacity and employ around 13,000 staff. Including Russia we operate about 40GW of reliable generating capacity. Our trading activities cover power, emissions allowances, natural gas, LNG, coal and freight. We source, store, and supply natural gas, LNG and coal globally. We have about 8.4 billion cubic metres of installed gas storage capacity, and operate power-to-gas units using electrolysis to convert wind energy into hydrogen, which is fed into the gas pipeline system. In addition, we’re engaged in the development of tomorrow’s energy technologies, such as large-scale battery solutions for power storage. Uniper Energy Sales offers individual power and natural gas supply to industrial customers and energy partners such as municipal and regional utilities in Germany and neighboring countries. Our energy services provide a variety of engineering services for power stations under construction as well as those that are already in operation; we also operate, maintain and manage assets on a contract basis; and we can conduct fuel procurement (coal, natural gas, LNG), commodity trading and energy marketing on customers' behalf. Our customers can choose from full-service arrangements or select tailor made individual services.
