Lowering the Cost of Energy We exploit our state-of-the-art techniques, knowledge and facilities to: • Increase profitability and efficiency for our customers • Accelerate new technologies to the market • Build upon cutting edge R&D, allowing you to be one step ahead
With and for the market, ECN Wind develops knowledge and technology that that will reduce cost of energy of offshore wind power plants • All research, products and services of Unit Wind Energy shall lead to a
significant lower Cost of Energy (CoE) for offshore wind power plants and related to this, a higher Return on Investment (RoI) for wind farm owners, investors and related customers
• R&D activities are fully aligned with the Innovation contract TKI Wind op Zee.
• With 50 scientists, ECN Wind supports the Dutch and European wind industry.
Support Structures Integrated design approach towards • Support structures • Access systems • Floating wind power systems
Operation and Maintenance • ECN optimises your operation and maintenance of offshore wind farm • Wind power forecasting • Development of innovative methods for asset management • Implementation of condition based maintenance
Electrical Network and connection to grid • Analyse and optimise electrical systems of offshore wind farms and
offshore grids, including DC connections • Optimise electrical lay-out of a wind farm and offshore grid by
calculating effect of electrical losses and component failure on energy production and cost of energy
Wind Power Plant • Optimising the design of offshore wind power plants • Accurate integral calculation of losses (wakes, electric, O&M) • Wind farm control strategies to increase production and improve
wind turbine life time

ECN owns five 2.5MW research wind turbines • Measurement campaign for more than ten years • Meteorological masts of 109m for wind measurements • R&D turbines facilitate demonstration of innovations • ECN is accredited IEC and MEASNET for Power Performance,
Mechanical Loads, Noise and Wind Conditions
• ECN has been the preferred partner for measurements in the OWEZ measurement and evaluation programme
• ECN was leading partner measurements on Downvind offshore turbines
• ECN operates offshore meteorological mast IJmuiden
• ECN operates offshore meteorological masts in commercial projects
ECN facilitates six proto-type test locations • In the Wieringermeer, ECN offers six test locations with certification
measurements for proto-type wind turbines. • Expansion with two locations in Groningen from 2014
Proeftuin op zee • ECN collaborates with a workgroup to develop the ‘proeftuin op zee’.
TKI Wind op Zee intends to develop this wind farm to test, validate and demonstrate the innovations from the Dutch industry under full-scale conditions.
• ECN is the preferred partner for the experiments •
Your partner for offshore measurements
