Renewable Energy Challenges and Solutions
Challenges Solutions
Competitive pressure to ensure lower CoE
compared to other renewable sources
Investment in research and development projects aimed and
improving turbine performance and lifecycle
Logistic difficulty in transporting larger and
larger components
Reducing transportation needs by bringing production, storage and
sourcing facilities closer to Sites/Harbors/Installation vessels.
Managing and tracking the fulfillment of all
project requirements and deliverables
Triggering of requirements management early in the project phases
and digitalization of process
The need to cooperate with a large number
of sub-suppliers, sub-contractors and
approval authorities in all project phases
Bringing all project partners on same communication platform and
investment of considerable resources in stakeholder management
Documenting all technical agreements made
and technical decisions taken throughout
project execution
The use of a standardized process and system for review and
documentation of technical decisions. These records will also be
transferred further to our O&M organization

• The Common Data Environment (CDE) – One common platform (everything on
one system, providing one consistent ‘source of truth’).
• Capturing information in a central platform
– Properly manage and document the fulfillment of all contractual requirements
– Provide full transparency of the project lifecycle to the O&M organization taking over
• The use of a central platform positively impacts all project phases

• An open architecture enables the organization to work
in their process specific systems for i.e. product design,
project management, quality management
• At the same time, an open architecture aims at
seamlessly connecting the process specific systems
into a landscape where data is not reproduced or re-
entered
• The thread running through the eco-system and finally
ending in the customer interface generates reliable
and valuable data
Importance of Open Systems
Managing your eco-system
25. CONFIDENTIAL | 25
• Important factors in the successful delivery of
large projects
– Detailed planning of all deliverables
– Breakdowns of deliverables into various packages
– Clear responsibilities and timelines
– Ongoing pulse check of client requirements
• Setting up for success
– Standardized naming and numbering
– Matching naming/numbering to project phases
and/or disciplines
– Using matching to track project deliverables
• Use of PACKAGES to track
– Client submissions
– Internal work packages
– Handover documentation
Managing Megaprojects
26. CONFIDENTIAL | 26
• Handover to client and documentation submissions are planned
from project start.
• Digitalization of this process offers the ability to react quickly to any
needed adjustments.
• Hand over to O&M
– System containing the clear and structured activity records of the
execution phase.
– O&M can provide
professional and
reliable product service.
Planning for Handover
27. CONFIDENTIAL | 27
• Plan for handover from the very beginning of the project
• Implement a Common Data Environment (CDE)
• Use systems with open architecture
• Break down program into manageable pieces
• Handover complete and usable project record to operations
