2 The Evolution of Innovative yet years of experience: 1997 TekNord 1999 MIG Business Development 2002 Prototype MBD Offshore Power R&D of Bucket Foundation 2005 Prototype Prototype : Press Release August 2011: Fred. Olsen United AS, which is owned 50/50 by Bonheur ASA and Ganger Rolf ASA, has acquired 60% of Danish company Universal Foundation A/S Other shareholders: DONG, Aalborg Universitet, Novasion
3 Fred. Olsen United Project management Secures a seamless interface and serves as single-point of contact Universal Foundation Harland and Wolff Fred. Olsen Windcarrier Natural Power - SeaRoc Global Wind Service Design of support structure Specialist in engineering and subseabed installation Foundation structure manufacture at their shipyard in Belfast Marine operations of structures to final site Supply and installation of met-mast structures and equipment HSEQ services Installation of wind turbines Service & maintenance Fibre repair Commissioning
4 Stepping up the Technology Readiness Ladder Targeting a 2015/16 contract 2016 Execution of WF Project Wind Farm Contract - Commercially Ready 2014 WTG foundation - Field proven - TRL Trial installations - Carbon Trust TRL 5 and Met Mast Foundations Dogger Bank, Firth of Forth TRL 4 and R&D Technology Readiness Level, TRL 0 to 3
5 A Fred. Olsen related company Is the Bucket an Opportunity for Near Offshore sites in Denmark? Question is: Does the Suction Bucket work at a given site?
6 How does it work Installation? The Universal Foundation Suction Bucket is a Suction Installed CAisson SICA All in one Substructure and Foundation unit as support for offshore installations, i.e. met masts, wind turbines, sub stations... Suction is applied during installation water evacuation Suction is NOT maintained during operation Once installed the SICA is a Gravity Foundation 1: Evacuation of water creates downward force limited by the water column 2: Flow around skirt reduces effective stresses in soil thereby reducing resistance
7 How does it work Installation?
8 How does it work In Operation? Once installed the SICA is a Gravity Foundation Failure mode is overturning V H M Point of rotation
9 Where does it work? Installability & Capability under which conditions? Design Drivers: Geology Met Ocean conditions Superstructure (Wind Turbine)

Metamorphic Recrystallization (Slate, Gneiss) Remark: In Clay due to low permeability flow around skirt is prevented. Penetration resistance shall be overcome by vertical downward force (Water column). Experience in Clay is limited,- i.e. Carbon Trust Trial Installation Scheme! 3 Internal Bulkheads to allow additional down force

12 Main Driver Type Family Grade Penetrability Capacity 0-10 m m Bathymetry Water Depth m Met Ocen m >40-50m Waves Dynamics T < f0 (system) T = f0 (system) T > f0 (system) Remark: Water column defines downward force Dynamic effect gradually governs Wave load takes dominance over turbine loads

Very dependent on installation vessel crane capacity & method Integrated design WTG <> Substructure will accommodate for for correct system f 0
15 Main Driver Type Family Grade Capacity 3 MW 4 MW 5 MW MW nameplate 25 to 45 m WD 6 MW 7 MW 8 MW System f0 below Allowable frequency interval System f0 within System f0 above Wind Turbine Remark: Threshold of structure tonnage = app tonnes (Green colour). Very dependent on installation vessel crane capacity & method Integrated design WTG <> Substructure will accommodate for for correct system f 0
16 Wind Turbine: Case study... Fine tuning system f 0 to avoid resonance = load amplification Typical deflection shapes for first few modes and load amplification as fuction of damping... Typical damping estimate = 10 15% (soil contribution 2% - 4%) => H(f) = 3 to 4 Note: This affects SLS and FLS load cases only
17 Typical WTG ranges The Bucket = MP like shaft but stiffer however not as stiff as Jacket... Can be tailored by tapered shaft, lid design... System f 0 depends on Nacelle/Rotor Mass, Tower, Water Depth... Narrow feasible frequency band here soft - hard f 0 It calls for Integrated design load loop iteration Trade off to find the cost optimal solution
18 Then lets assume we got the integrated design right what value proposition is to be expected: Simplified ULS perspective: ULS moment as function of Rotordiameter ULS Overturning Moment MNm Wave & WTG WTG 30 m Mudline 40 m Mudline 25 m Mudline Lineær (Tower bottom extreme bending moment) Rotor Diameter
19 Simplified ULS perspective - continued: Suction Bucket Tonnage as function of Mudline Resulting Moment Universal Foundation Suction Bucket tons Resulting mudline ULS, MNm
20 The Cost perspective To say something clever on Cost level would need a specific project estimate Significant contribution to shorten Project Schedule LCoE is reduced significantly 100% 90% 80% 100% 96% Cost per unit Index 70% 60% 50% 72% 69% 60% 57% 40% 30% 20% Nos of Structures 31%
21 In conclusion: The Bucket will be a feasible support structure given the right soils and Met Ocean conditions Tonnage: Site Specific Design required At a cost of - too early to say All to be confirmed. i.e we need: Geotechnical info Met Ocean info WTG-Support Structure - integrated design initiated - Design Basis - Load Loop Iteration - Detailed design / Interface concept
