DNV GL advises on China first HVDC offshore wind substation

DNV GL, the world’s largest resource of independent energy experts and certification body, announced that it has been contracted to provide technical advisory support on feasibility studies for the first-ever, high-voltage direct current offshore wind substation in China. China has committed heavily to developing its offshore wind-power capacity. It currently plans to have 5 GW of offshore wind power installed by 2020 and in 2017 alone it installed almost 1.2 GW of offshore wind capacity. This brought the cumulative total installed capacity to nearly 2.8 GW, third globally behind the United Kingdom and Germany.

However, the country is now faced by the challenge that all the promising wind farm sites within 10 km of the shore have already been exploited. To boost capacity further and meet the 2020 target, China is having to explore locations that are further offshore. To this end, Huadong Engineering Corporation is planning a ground-breaking 1.1 GW offshore windfarm some 90 km off the coast of Jiangsu Province in eastern China.

Traditional submarine high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) cables become extremely inefficient when transporting large amounts of electricity over such long distances. In contrast, high-voltage direct current systems allow power to be transmitted over large distances under the sea with minimal losses. A key stage in the new project will be the creation of an offshore HVDC transmission system to export offshore power from the wind farm to the mainland, including offshore HVDC converter station, submarine cables and onshore HVDC converter station.

Mr William Pan, Head of Offshore Wind APAC, DNV GL – Energy said that “Comparing with onshore HVDC technology, offshore wind HVDC has unique specification and requires to combine both offshore wind and HVDC technology on the limited space, to satisfy safety and function requirement. DNV GL is very glad to work with the customer on this HVDC milestone project and accelerate the local offshore wind industry development with extensive offshore wind experiences.”

India may miss 10 Gw wind auctions target in FY19 - Ind-Ra

Economic Times reported that India might miss its target to conduct 10 Gw capacity wind auctions in the current financial year ending March 2019, credit ratings agency, India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) said that "In the wind energy space, grid connectivity-related concerns have forced bidders to skip auctions in the past. Last financial year was a year of under-performance for wind power projects.”

Analysts consider unpredictability of wind resource as a major risk for wind power projects. Companies are managing that risk by portfolio diversification and maintenance of adequate debt coverage and liquidity.

A major positive for wind power projects is the stabilising grid availability. Tamil Nadu demonstrated a substantial improvement in grid availability between 2015-16 and 2017-18.

In-Ra said that "Achieving financial closure for new renewable projects with highly competitive tariffs and refinancing of existing loans may be a challenge without sponsor backing, on account of the low margin for error.”

It also noted that mergers and acquisitions activity in the renewable energy sector have been sluggish in the past 12 months, with major players counting on enough capacity available to bid for new projects.

Asia-pacific offshore wind energy capacity to rise 20 fold by 2027 - Wood Mackenzie

Economic Times reported that Asia-Pacific region’s offshore wind power capacity would rise 20-fold to 43 Gigawatt (GW) through 2027, according to a recent report by global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie. It said that China, leading in the race, is expected to see offshore wind capacity grow from 2 GW last year to 31 GW in the next decade.

Taiwan, which comes next, would account for 20 per cent or 8.7 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2027. This would make it the largest offshore wind market in Asia-Pacific excluding China (APeC) by 2020.

Mr Robert Liew, senior analyst, Wood Mackenzie said that "Taiwan presents the biggest offshore market in APeC due to a relatively stable regulatory regime, a supportive government, and openness to foreign investment.”

The research firm said in a report that “However, the government has pledged to shut down nuclear plants by 2025, thereby leaving a void of 5 GW of power capacity to be filled. Offshore wind is poised to fill this gap as more than 5.7 GW of projects have been approved and planned for commissioning by 2025.”

A few markets in Asia-Pacific, driven by declining prices, have set ambitious offshore wind targets. However, not every market is set for success as a stable domestic offshore supply chain and strong government support are needed to sustain growth in the long term.

Mr Liew said that "Together with South Korea and Japan, East Asia needs about $37 billion in investments to meet the mammoth growth in offshore wind capacity over the next five years.” He added that prices are coming down and thus future offshore wind prices were projected to be competitive with traditional thermal prices by 2025.

He said that "This should attract investments in offshore wind, though Asia-Pacific is still playing catch-up with Europe as it is still in the process of establishing a dedicated infrastructure to support large scale offshore growth.”

South Africa gets two new wind farms in the Western Cape

The South African reported that South Africa is due to boost its renewable energy regiment thanks to two new wind farms set for construction in the Western Cape. Enel Green Power, a global renewable energy company, has awarded Vestas an order of the biggest wind turbines to ever be implemented on African soil. This ground-breaking development is seen as a positive move towards replacing South Africa’s dubious reliance on ‘dirty energy’ with the renewables.

According to ESI Africa, the 147MW projects, which will debut the V136-4.2MW in South Africa, will also feature Vestas largest rotor diameters on the continent. The Danish company has earmarked two sites in the Western Cape for the development of the new wind farms.

The Karusa and Soetwater projects, located in the Karoo, will add 294 MW to the electrical grid and are expected to undergo practical construction in the second half of 2020.

The wind farms will feature 70 turbines with a hub height of 82 meters. According to Nils de Baar, the President of Vestas Northern & Central Europe, the locations chosen in the Western Cape are optimal for the production of clean wind energy.

The organisation’s president added that the new projects would employ South Africans and source from local companies as much as it possibly could, stating that “We are very dedicated to making a difference in South Africa and contribute to enhancing socio-economic growth and sustainable educational development. We are doing so by procuring locally produced towers, contracting local transport companies and supporting community school programmes through our own initiative, the Vestas Empowerment Trust.”

De Baar said that both the Karusa and Soetwater projects should be operational by 2022.
