Global Innovation Support
Brendan Vickers
Partnership Manager – North America

• UK is good at starting businesses but not so good when it comes to their growth
• OECD Entrepreneurship at a Glance 2017 - UK comes first globally for start-ups, but not
in the top ten for growing businesses into established, medium-sized companies with a
lasting impact on our economy
• The Scaleup Institute Scaleup Review 2018 highlights that being able to access UK and
international markets is the second most important factor for businesses looking to
grow and scale
• 95% of the world’s R&D takes place outside of the UK
• In exploring global markets, businesses often lack confidence and face the challenges of
finding international partners, customers and having the right connections
• Businesses look for trusted support and ability to open opportunities
Innovate UK supporting global R&D and innovation

• Aim is to help innovative UK businesses to grow and scale globally – even before they
have a market-ready product or service to sell
• Range of different types of support to facilitate partnership building and development
• Financial and non financial

Progression of European Markets
• Falling costs
• Growing confidence in technology due to mass build out
Local flagship projects:
• Demonstration of regional viability
• Confidence in ability of local companies
Governmental commitments, support and
• Climate change commitments
• Governmental and state level targets and incentives for OSW
Increased interest from local, non-renewable energy
companies
• US – O&G majors
• Asia – large fabricators and industrial
Drivers of market confidence and growth are similar in all the
markets.
Governmental support is driven by different factors in each
market.

KEY DIFFERENCES • Occasional
hurricanes
• Slightly lower wind
regime
• Deeper water • Challenging soft mud with
hard outcrops in the south
• Current developments very
nearshore planned
developments <20 km to
shore
• North = low wind speeds
• South = typhoons
• Low wind speeds with
typhoons
• Av. distance to shore <10
km
• 80% of seabed >100 m
• Low wind speeds and
typhoons
• Earthquakes
• Most deployed and
planned projects <5 km
from shore, remaining
<20 km from shore
• East coast US represents most similar conditions to UK
• Conditions in Asian markets are significantly different to the UK so innovation is needed to
meet regional conditions (seabed, low-wind, typhoon, earthquakes)
• Generally projects are much closer to shore than UK but this reflect maturity of the industry
• Similar to the UK, US, S. Korea and Japan have very variable water depths including large areas
of deep water, so are suitable for fixed and floating foundations.

DIFFERENCES TO UK
• Jackets chosen
over monopile
in some case,
due to local
content
• Dominated by
FOSW, similar
to Scotwind
• China developing
bespoke solutions
for challenging
ground conditions
• To date ‘assemble
at port’ technique
• S. Korean stakeholders
showed general
preference for spar
buoys
• Drive towards integrated
turbine and platform
• Little work done on
O&M to date
• Deployed floating substations
• Downwind turbine used to
date but changing
Technology typically deployed at time of mission:
• As expected, due to similar conditions to the UK, East Coast US has adopted the most similar technology,
• Asia is typically using smaller turbines, due to constraints in local turbine supply and vessels.
• Installation techniques vary significantly across markets.
• Some level of interest in floating in all markets but in all markets there is still a significant fixed wind market
that will be exploited first.
MISSION FINDINGS:Technology deployment

R&D LANDSCAPE: USA
• Primary federal funding – $20.5m funding from the DoE for. and
distributed by, the National OSW R&D consortium.
• Some states (NY, MD, MA) have set up funding for state
institutions.
In Spring 2018:
• Well established wind R&D infrastructure but limited specific
OSW activity.
• Significant increase in last 6-7 years.
• R&D spend low compared to other energy sectors.
• Spend on OSW comparable to UK (around £15m over last 5
years).
MATURITY
FUDNING
FOCUSAREAS
• Development of the solutions needed to remove specific
barriers to development of the US industry
• Floating wind
• Wildlife impact
• Hurricane protection
• Cost reduction.
• Also looking to build on areas where some onshore
expertise exists
• Academic organisations dominate (onshore wind &
environmental capabilities).
• Key federal delivery mechanism moving forward – National
OSW R&D Consortium.
• Appears established OSW industry is maintaining core R&D in
Europe.
• Two large OSW testing facilities recently opened.
DELIVERY

R&D LANDSCAPE: China
• Funding for R&D is complex
• Most funding for R&D comes through industry and the private
sector.
• Public sector funding is available
• Several UK/China joint funding programmes have been
established that could potential be adapted to cover OSW
In Autumn 2018:
• China’s general R&D spend is huge ($658 billion 2018)
• R&D in the OSW is still limited but developing fast
• OSW R&D capability is built on 15 years of onshore wind
R&D – has evolved from importing technology to a substantial
domestic capability
MATURITY
FUDNING
FOCUSAREAS
• Focus on getting demonstration projects in the water – learn
by doing
• R&D Areas
• Market support and stimulation
• Turbine development (for China & Europe markets)
• Adaption/development of technology for Chinese
conditions:
• Typhoon and earthquake survival
• Installation
• Foundations
• Little current activity in R&D for the operational phase.
• Most of the R&D activity in OSW sits within industry
• R&D being carried out within:
• Universities
• State corporate research institutes
• Tech accelerators e.g. TUS
• Larger testing facilities all sit within industry
• ORE Catapult has established centre for collaboration incl.

MOST Coordinates and funds National level programmes

R&D LANDSCAPE: S. Korea - Floating
In Spring 2019:
• No commercial-scale FOSW
• A single demonstrator under advanced development (750 kW
Shin Gori Project)
• Pilot plant planned for 2023
• First commercial sites planned following pilot
MATURITY
FUDNINGFOCUSAREAS
• Strong industrial base – capability to build supply chain
in the region means strong emphasis on manufacturing
rather than driving future technology trends
• Other R&D areas
• Floating platforms (spar-buoys, semi-subs, cone
buoys)
• Turbine design
DELIVERY
• No FOSW specific funding
• Most R&D spend and funding comes
from industry
• Funding by Ulsan City
• Incubation services are available for
smaller innovative companies in the
sector

General R&D spend
• Work ongoing at universities and
through applied innovation in FOSW
through government-funded turbine
system demonstration programmes
• Most delivery through selected
consortia containing large local
industrial companies.
• All R&D activity focused around and
driven by the City of Ulsan
• Wider network of onshore wind
R&D infrastructure including testing
facilities, but generally too small for
OSW

S. Korea
R&D LANDSCAPE: Japan- Floating
In Spring 2019:
• No commercial-scale FOSW
• Floating wind R&D activity in Japan peaked in 2011-2015
driven by Fukushima demonstration project
• Developed as much for economic reasons post disaster as it
was for tech reasons
• Fukushima – expensive and technically flawed – has damaged
floating wind reputation. This has stalled activity but this is
changing slowly.
MATURITY
FUDNING
FOCUSAREAS
Key areas of R&D activities on FOSW:
• Platforms (Semi-subs and spar buoys)
• Wildlife impact monitoring (mammal and fishing)
• Cost reduction
• Demonstration of tech
• Majority of FOSW delivery to date has been through large
industrial corporations with public funding, although this
has declined
• 3 FOSW demo sites are operational or in development
• Small amount of work being undertaken at universities
• Level of work in FOSW is currently relatively low
DELIVERY
• Two key funding bodies:
• NEDO – Funds industry to
deliver OSW R&D and
demo, similar to Innovate UK
• METI – Funds earlier stage
research at universities
• Significant industrial R&D funding
from large corporation went into
Fukushima demo but has since
declined
