2 About EERA A public research alliance A cornerstone of the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) Bringing more than 200 research organisations Working together in 17 Joint Programmes Collaborating with European Industry With global outreach And aligning national research

3 EERA JPWIND The vision of the EERA Joint Programme for Wind Energy is to move from a voluntary network of research organisations towards a virtual research centre running an Integrated Research Programme to help develop a common European Research Area for wind energy research in Europe.

4 Ambitions for EERA JP Wind The EERA Joint Programme on Wind Energy (EERA JP Wind) started in 2010 on a voluntary basis. The mission for EERA JP Wind is to provide strategic leadership for the medium to long-term research and to support the European Industrial Initiative and the Technology Roadmap activities on wind energy. EERA JP Wind gives added value: Strategic leadership of the underpinning research Joint prioritisation of research tasks and infrastructure Alignment of European and national research efforts Execution of coordinated and structured research in medium to long-term programmes Coordination with industry Sharing of knowledge and research infrastructure

9 International Cooperation As part of IRPWind, EERA JPWind has developed a strategy for International Cooperation (INCO) The strategy identifies the US and Japan as priority countries for collaboration EU-Japan cooperation: For the time being IRPWIND considers the following areas as relevant for further collaboration between Europe and Japan: Grid integration Offshore wind energy including floating Wind conditions

10 IRPwind WP6: Design of offshore wind farms WP Lead PM Start End WP6.1: Data assimilation Hannover WP6.2: Benchmark of models CENER WP6.3: Model development Strathclyde Participants DTU Wind Energy CRES ECN SINTEF Energy Research (WP lead) CENER NTNU University of Strathclyde Tecnalia ForWind Oldenburg & Hannover MARINTEK 10 Objective to accelerate the design optimization of wind turbines and support structures for offshore wind farms, through validation of integrated design models, and subsequent development of methods and design criteria

11 IRPWIND WP6: Results providing basis for value creation Database of measurements from offshore wind farms, both bottom-fixed and floating, and also from relevant lab-scale experiments. IRPwind will provide open data. Development of a benchmark validation procedure and an inventory of validation test cases. Implementation of a web-based European platform for the management of model benchmarking activities. Integrated design tools and guidelines taking into account loads, control and grid support, on turbine and wind farm level, providing reduced uncertainties and reduced cost of energy. Investigation of new control systems, at the turbine level and the farm level, providing additional protection to individual turbines and enabling optimized wind farm operation minimizing the cost of energy. 11
