“The Sirris Application labs focus on technological themes that will be crucial for the future of our companies
in the coming years”.
Why OWI-Lab?
1) The offshore wind energy market fast expanding !
Interesting alternative energy technology Grid parity forecasted in 2030 by IEA (the point that the cost of offshore wind energy
becomes equal to the cost of utility power from coal, natural gas, nuclear)
EWEA 2011 EWEA 2011
EU MARKET FORECAST: The coming 4 years 12 GW will be installed offshore, this is 3 times the amount of what has been realized over the last 20 years.
Belgian pioneering at the North sea Belgium committed to realize 13% of energy mix out of renewable energy 1/3 of this Offshore wind energy
- planned offshore wind capacity = 1,6 Giga Watt -
Phase 1, 2 and 3: 325,20 MW Annual generation for 600.000 inhabitants
Phase 1 = 165 MW Annual generation for 175.000 inhabitants Phase 2 = + 165MW
Coming up: Northwind, Phase 3 C-Power, Norther, Rental, Seastar, Mermaid
50km
2) Creation of jobs and export opportunities
40 % of Belgian wind energy jobs are related to ‘offshore wind’ Strong potential growth

3) Innovation needed to make this industry a succes
Not so much datasets yet available (or accessible) to optimize components Operations and maintenance cost needs to go down to reach grid parity Harsh environmental conditions (wind loads, temperatures, salt,…) Bigger turbines (12MW in design) ; Bigger means better design
1352 - 1521 (?) 2015
What does OWI-lab do? Investing 5.5M € in test - and monitoring
infrastructure 4 investment programs
Platform to initiate industry driven local and European research projects
Innovation projects with / for companies in the wind power sector
Development of R&D infrastructure Operationalize infrastructure Expansion of the
research infrastructure Innovation projects

Large climate chamber - why
Testing, simulation and validation are key to improve reliability of WTG components Model validation / prototype testing Reduction of design cycle Offshore / remote testing = €€€€€ Offshore / remote reparation = €€€€€€€€€€€
Unique test infrastructure in EU
Components up to 150 ton
-60°C to +60°C
+60°C to -40°C air in 1 hour
Large cold climatic test chamber
