2016, DNV-GL, Study on UK Offshore Wind Variability
2009
publication
25959
The Crown Estate Commissioners (TCE) has appointed Garrad Hassan and Partners Ltd., (DNV GL) to undertake a study into the variability of offshore wind speeds in UK waters. In this study, DNV GL has identified, assessed and tested options for deriving two potential industry "products":
A robust definitive wind speed index for UK offshore wind; and, A new characterisation of Inter-Annual Variability (IAV) in wind speed that is specific to the UK offshore wind climate.
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a reduction in Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) for future offshore wind projects by improving financing conditions through the provision of an improved characterisation of the long-term UK offshore wind resource. For the purpose of this study and to assess the potential reduction in LCoE, a base case scenario considering the use of a nearby meteorological station and an IAV of 6.0% has been assumed to represent the current industry standard.

The study has been completed in four phases, from the initial design of the products, through to validation, and consideration for potential further work.
The results of each phase are summarised in this report, which is structured as follows:
Section 3: Phase 1 - Scoping and outline design
Section 4: Phase 2 - Validation
Section 5: Risks and opportunities
Section 7: Considerations.
Further discussion of the background and motivation for this work is included in Section 2.
