Rising to the challenge: Integrating cost effective renewable energy into a balanced and stable energy system
Designing, building and managing solutions, in hostile environments
Balancing supply and demand in a dynamic market with variable wind supply
Enabling the physical infrastructure to be created rapidly
1% = £4m p.a. Impact of a percentage point improvement in availability for a 1GW wind farm
500%Increase in renewable share of UK energy mix to reach the 2020 UK target
9MW – 2.6GWElectricity produced from wind at 3.00am 28 March 2011 and at 11.40am 31 March 2011

Optimisation & Balancing
Integration & Orchestration
Mass micro generation or large scale distributed generation?
Speed to Scale
Cost & Reliability
Lowest cost mix plus returns to ownersMaintaining balance of demand and supply
“Virtual power plant” and network connectionsManaging variability and grid connections
Enough customer take-up to make a differenceFilling the generation gap and slashing emissions
Realistic pay-back periods“Grid parity” from lower capital and operating costs
There are similar challenges across all renewable technologies

CogenData / C/oud Grid InfrastructureHow do we create an efficient Supergrid, enabling
energy trading and distributing across Europe
£
Smart SolutionsHow do we generate new ways of doing things to
enable a smart and efficient energy system? Integrated PowerHow do we integrate renewable
power with conventional sources?Efficient Trading
How can we engage in effective day ahead trading
with so much intermittency in renewable power supply?
Asset ManagementHow can we optimise availability
and outputs from our wind assets?
MaintenanceHow can efficient maintenance enable operational profitability?
SafetyHow to minimise safety risks for
construction and maintenance teams?
Smart Wind Farm Location / DesignHow do we find those marginal improvements to
wind farm location and design that can yield significant returns over the life of the assets?
Turbine TechnologyHow do we find the next
generation of wind turbines that are more efficient, more reliable
and more versatile?
LogisticsHow can we manage complex array of materials,
manpower and transportation vessels whilst minimising costs and ensuring expedient development?

Designing, building and managing renewable solutions
Wind Farm Development High-resolution weather model of target areas Creates a “climatology” to determine power potential Evaluate more than just maximum wind Physical, economic and logistical factors determine optimum design
Reducing the Ratio of Downtime IBM MAXIMO Wind Suite – Integrated MRO system. Improve forecasting for ordering, delivery and warehousing Framework for predictive maintenance using SPSS and Smart Signal Solution has delivered 57% reduction in downtime to wind turbines
Predictive maintenance “Stream Analytics” on sensors detects faults before they happen Statistical data mining predicts likely asset failures and service needs Schedule preventive maintenance at the optimal time Maximise uptime and minimise turnaround time: 1% = £4m/GW

Balancing supply and demand when intermittency is the norm
Integrated Control Centres optimise operations Monitor, control and balance generation Optimise generation and mix across diverse portfolio Eliminate functional, expertise and asset silos Uncovers patters from operational, engineering and business data
Denmark’s EDISON Project "Electric Vehicles in a Distributed and Integrated Market using
Sustainable Energy and Open Networks" (EDISON). EVs as balancing tool for intermittent wind Charge scheduling for demand management and energy storage Vehicle-to-grid in periods of low wind power and excess demand
Optimal market trading Higher return potential from Day Ahead than Spot trading But high risk of penalties for missing the bid power amount IBM Deep Thunder and ILOG can significantly reduce risk Enables efficient and profitable trading on day ahead market

Building a smarter planet.
IBM can manage the data. We can integrate technology with business processes. We can help design the overall system. And we can mine and
exploit the information.
But
We don’t build the turbines.We don’t construct the physical infrastructure. We don’t operate the wind farms. And we don’t sell the energy.
