Thanet project experience – general (1)
Thanet: largest offshore wind farm in the world
• Owned by Vattenfall Wind Power
• 300 MW, 100 Vestas V90-3MW turbines
• 10 nm off the coast of Kent (UK)
• Fully operational Sept 2010
Thanet project experience – general (2)
• Project management foundation contracts by GL Garrad Hassan/Noble Denton
• More then 14 different subcontracts (managed by abt 40 people over 3 yrs)
• Halfway June’09 Principal contractor role went to Thanet Offshore Wind
• Water depths up to 30.5 m + spring tide 2.5 m: airgap
• High tidal currents
• Marine traffic (English Channel and Thames Estuary)
• Total number of vessels on this project: 80
• Large number of work vessels in the field at same time, up to 35.
Thanet project experience – Mono Piles (1)
• MP’s fabricated by SIF, stored at Kats, transported to Ramsgate
• Ramsgate: limited access (water depth, current) and quay capacity
• MP up to 60 m long, up to 485 t weight,
• 5 different OD’s (up to 4.9 m). Same diameter fabricated at different times.
• Installation started, while Engineering not finished
Thanet project experience - Mono Piles (2)
• Trunnions appeared to be necessary
• Piling with S1400 hydrohammer
• 100 Monopiles installed by Sea Jack (+ 2 tugs)
• Total duration 300+ days (excl mob/demob)
Thanet project experience – Transition Pieces (1)
• TP’s fabricated by SIF, outfitted by Smulders
• Pick up 6 TP’s from Vlissingen (8 hrs transit)
• 84 Transition Pieces installed by MPI Resolution
• Duration 180+ days
• Then MPI Resolution reassigned to WTG installation
Thanet project experience – Transition Pieces (2)
• Remaining 16 Transition pieces installed by Sea Jack
• Pick up from Ramsgate (3 hrs transit)
• Durations 30 days (excl mob/demob)
• J-tubes installation required diving assistance.
• Limited thickness of TP bottom posed constraints to seafastening
• Also I-tubes and Anodes constrained seafastening
Thanet project experience - WTG installation
• 100 WTG’s installed by MPI Resolution
• Pick up from Dunkirk (10 hrs transit)
• Piecemal installation
• Tower in 1 section
• Each blade installed separately (no bunny ears)
• Total duration 200¯ days

Next generation concepts – increase wind speed criterion (1)
• Wind speed criterion for lifting a blade: 8 m/s (may be 9 m/s)
• What if….wind speed criterion can be increased?

• 8 m/s standard criterion
• Increase in wind speed criterion to:
• 10 m/s
• 12 m/s
• Installation duration reduced up to 10%, 20 %
Next generation concepts – increase wind speed criterion (2)
Next generation concepts – One lift concept (1)
• WTG installed piecemal
• What if….WTG installed as 1 fully assembled unit?
• Future concepts:

Next generation concepts – offshore harbour (1)
• Marshalling harbour for TP’s and MP’s / Sea Jack: Ramsgate (3 hrs)
• Marshalling harbour for TP’s / Resolution: Vlissingen (8 hrs)
• Marshalling harbour for WTG’s / Resolution: Dunkirk (10 hrs)
• What if….there is a neighbouring offshore harbour?
• Future concepts:
Next generation concepts – offshore harbour (2)
• Probably more benefit when located further offshore
• Large transport capacity Resolution appears clear benefit
