Guest speaker presentation at 'Seminar Offshore Wind Energy' UGent – June 2015 - The importance of test and monitoring solutions to increase resilience and mitigate risk for offshore wind turbine systems
Introduction seminar to the new study program in 'Offshore Wind Energy' organized by the Faculty of Engineering Technology of the KU Leuven and the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Ghent (UGent). Goals of the seminar was to give an overview of the current developments in the Belgian Offshore Wind industry. This seminar gave an overview in fields such as offshore wind energy technology, grid integration & operation and maintenance. My contribution gave an overview of the current drivers, technological evolutions, ongoing market trends and technical challenges within this relative new industry. Also insights in reliability issues, risk mitigation pathways and case studies from testing and monitoring projects within OWI-Lab have been presented.

11. 2.488 = Number of offshore wind turbines in
Europe at the end of 2014
8.759 GW = The amount of offshore wind power
installed globally at the end of 2014
More than 91% (8,045 MW) of all offshore wind
installations can be found in European waters
20. LCOE Offshore Wind Energy
Timeline LCOE OFFSHORE
LCOE 2012 ± 173€/MWh – 185€/MWh
(2 x onshore)
LCOE 2020 (forecast) ± 100€/MWh – 123.5€/MWh
LCOE 2030 (forecast) ± 86€/MWh – 99€/MWh
Grid parity reached for average wind farm * After 2020
* Depending on oil & gas prices; siting; CO2 tax,…

Electromagnetic noise,…
33. Overview technology progress & key trends:
Challenges for offshore wind
A wind turbine is a very dynamic system,
and it’s dynamics are depending on
environmental loads in combination with
it’s operational status

74. Maintenance approaches in general
1. Reactive or corrective maintenance
(run to failure)
2. Preventive maintenance
(time based)
3. Predictive maintenance
(condition based - CMS)
