Making renewables happen

A preferred source of electricity must be

able to deliver the desired electric energy -

• to the necessary extent,

• without destroying the climate,

• without excessive public opposition,

• at an affordable cost, and

• when it is needed

Let us check it out for wind power

Area use for offshore wind at 100% of load (pre-Brexit!)

Area use. Denmark

• DK load: 35 Bn. kWh/year

• Energy: 30 kWh/m2/year

• Area required: 1115 km2

• Corresponds to one offshore wind

farm measuring 35 km x 35 km

Area use, EU

• EU load: 2.800 Bn. kWh/year

• Energy: 30 kWh/m2/year

• Area required: 90.000 km2

• Corresponds to nine offshore wind

farms, each measuring 100 km x

100 km

Still plenty of sea available for

shipping and fishing!

Sutton’s Law

When asked why he robbed banks, Sutton said:

“Because that is where the money is!”

Reality – from Sutton’s memoir

“I never said it. The credit belongs to some enterprising reporter…

Why did I rob banks? Because I enjoyed it. I loved it. I was more alive

when I was inside a bank, robbing it, than at any other time in my life.”

Shared characteristics

• Very heavy – from 2500 tons to 10.000 tons for 7 MW class turbines

• Construction methods from shipbuilding and offshore oil and gas

• Fabrication typically at port of floater launch

• Build times typically measured in months

• Tens of thousands of man-hours per foundation for steel cutting, fitting, welding, handling, etc.

The TetraSpar floating concept

• Offers disruptive reduction in Cost of Energy from

floating offshore wind

• Combines benefits from known floater concepts

• Is suitable for genuine industrialization

• Applies proven technologies

• Can be configured for installation at water depths

from 10 m to more than 1000 m

Taking advantage of a world champion …

The humble wind turbine tower

• Probably the world’s lowest cost per kg of

any large steel structure

• High quality welds and surface protection

• More than 20,000 towers manufactured

annually in highly industrialized processes

How did we get there?

• Separation of fabrication and installation

• Modularization and standardization

• No IP of any significance – costs kept low

through open competition

The keyword for TetraSpar – Industrialization the onshore way

Mindset

• Conventional thinking

• We have designed this structure – now,

how do we build it?

• TetraSpar thinking

• We need to manufacture this way –

now, how do we design it?

Concept

• Modular – all components factory-made,

transported by road

• Components assembled at quayside with

bolts (not exposed to sea water)

• Turbine mounted in harbor and towed to

site, no installation vessels

• Weight 1000-1500 t for 8 MW turbine

of thermal energy

• Storage medium crushed rock (basalt) in

insulated tanks

• Charging and discharging with compressor

and turbine, using thermodynamic

processes

• Charging: Heat pump cycle (150% eff.)

• Discharging: Brayton cycle (40% eff.)

The Stanford Analysis

Source: Stanford

Three related challenges, confront

scaling up clean energy spending in

line with the IEA’s 450 Scenario:

• The Quantity Problem

• The Quality Problem

• The Location Problem

Stiesdal

© Stiesdal 2017, All Rights Reserved 68

The Stanford Analysis

Source: Stanford

The Quantity Problem

• The annual investments needed to

keep global warming under 2

degrees C would absorb a very

significant portion of the world’s

total annual investible capital;

• On average, institutional investors

put to work $3.4 trillion annually

• The IEA’s 450 Scenario depends

on investors purchasing clean

energy stocks and bonds, or

directly lending to (“debt”) and

investing in (“equity”) clean energy

projects for $2.3 trillion annually.

Sustainable energy requires 2/3 of

all annual investments

Stiesdal

© Stiesdal 2017, All Rights Reserved 69

The Stanford Analysis

Source: Stanford

The Quality Problem

• The key generation technologies

(wind and solar) have reached

universal bankability at western-

world utility scale.

• However, many applications of

wind and solar, and many

supporting technologies (electricity

networks, other low-CO2

technologies, energy savings,

etrc.) are seen as having higher

risk profiles

• A large part of the investment

money available is substantially

very risk averse

The risk profiles don’t match

Stiesdal

© Stiesdal 2017, All Rights Reserved 70

The Stanford Analysis

Source: Stanford

The Location Problem

• We must triple global clean energy

spending within an annual global

pool of investible capital that is

mostly held in OECD nations.

• Much of the investments will have

to be spent in the non-OECD

developing world to deploy clean

energy where it is most needed,

with all the attendant risk.

The investments are needed where

the money isn’t

… But we have a bright future in sustainable energy!

Status

• We have beaten coal and are beating gas on good wind and solar sites

• We will ultimately beat gas on all relevant sites

The biggest challenges are

• Inertia

• Investment constraints

What we need to continue is

• Innovation, also on finances

• Industrialization

If we succeed

• The question across the world will change from

• “How can we afford it”

• to

• “How can we afford not to?”

Your moment of Zen

Siemens 8 MW wind turbine

▪ The future offshore workhorse

▪ Annual Energy Production 25

million kWh at an offshore site

▪ 50 pcs. 8 MW at an offshore

site have an AEP equal to the

annual electricity consumption

of the 290.000 households in

Copenhagen

▪ Likely to be the lowest cost

source of green electricity from

2020 onwards

▪ Designed and built in Denmark

That is kind of OK!
