Butsolved by complimenting technologies and blackouts happen, and that is when people Regulations changemarkets such as the Capacity Market and realise the importance of it especiallyenergy storage (batteries are just one when turning on a heater or a fan can A few months ago, the capacity marketexample).

Thedomestic sector is expected to install 1kWh– 30kWh batteries whereas the commercialand industrial sectors will install 30kWh– 1MWh batteries.Here are why these sectors shouldseriously consider installing battery storageat home, farm or business now:Maximum benefit of renewable energyinvestmentThe government has declared no subsidieswill be granted to renewable energy projectsbefore 2025 making the sector in its currentform less attractive for new investors andless profitable for current ones.The first subsidy-free solar farm had todepend on batteries to make financial sense.Farmers and households that installed ADplants, solar Photovoltaics or wind turbinestend to export almost half of their excesselectricity to the gird. The current schemeshave low export rates and high import ratesresulting in financial losses.Installing batteries make the point ofgeneration is the point of consumption andthis increases the profitability of renewableenergy systems.Petrol/diesel cars banned by 2040The UK is banning the sale of diesel andpetrol cars by 2040 but based onpollution levels, specialists think it is toolate. The National Grid has declared thatit can manage the phase out a decadeearlier, proposing to move the ban to2030. This means an increase of ElectricVehicles from 130 thousand now to 9million by 2030.For people who spend a lot of timecommuting or businesses with a fleet fordelivery or shipping, charging cars might bea bit inconvenient. Having batteries at homeor where cars park when not in use makesperfect sense, especially when a renewableenergy system is installed.

What we can see the last years, is an106 PES Wind

Nils Ingvarson Ola Arvidslund ASK THE EXPERTS increased awareness and compliance of national legislation, e.g. work environmental/ HSE legislation in that area we are working in. When MMT are working within territorial waters, we shall, in addition to the flag state legislation, also obey the national (territorial waters) legislation on board the vessel. This is nowadays more highlighted in the clients ITT documentation and better followed up. However, it is still a challenge for us and our competitors to ensure that we have the legal documentation, know how to gather the right practical knowledge and implement on the vessels. PES: Have you found any crossovers or points to be taken from other sectors of the offshore industry? NI & OA: MMT have several of work areas, e.g. environmental-, bathymetry- cable- and oil & gas industry, all with different HSE requirements. Back in the years, the Wind farm requirements were not very strict or stringent, but nowadays we can see that most of the Health and Safety requirements are similar for most areas. Maybe you can see more requirements for control of the fauna in the Wind industry, i.e. more focus on Mammal observers, (MMO) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM). The Wind industry also have their specific Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Safety course requirements, however, since MMT never enter the actual windmill safety zone, but perform inspection and survey adjacent to the structures, MMT personnel do not require this type of certificate. PES: How important is training to you as a company in view of these stringent health and safety regulations? NI & OA: HSE training is crucial and very important for the company, all MMT offshore personnel shall have both health & fitness certificate and a basic safety course before going offshore. However, several of the MMT managers have also performed these courses, all to make sure that they are kept up to date with procedures, workflows etc. PES: We have been hearing about your highly technical equipment and vessels, please can you tell us something about these? NI & OA: The setup is a mix of inhouse vessels, long term charter vessels and project specific vessels when required. Obviously we believe that a good understanding and handling of the vessel are important factors for a successful operation. So this a one of the main focus areas when fine tuning and optimising the operations. MMT also believes that the higher resolution obtained, the better the results can be optimised for presenting the purpose of the surveys, this is certainly true for the Oil and gas segment but also in the Renewable sector.

NI & OA: MMT operates mainly in Europe (North Sea, UK, Baltic Sea, English channel) the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. With this we are looking on what is happening in further developments of the offshore renewable sector. We see there are developments both in the Mediterranean, Asia and the North America PES: What is the single biggest challenge facing the market today? NI & OA: There are many but one of the biggest, from a survey perspective, is the challenge in the initial phases when survey activities may not be considered as important as they are (and later turn out to be). So to allow for proper survey activities and budget for them is really important. This part has developed the past 5 years and hopefully it continues. PES: Looking ahead into 2018 and beyond, what trends and/or changes are you anticipating in the market and why? NI & OA: There are currently an increased number of companies getting into the UXO survey and inspection market and it will be important ensure the high quality requirement for the surveys, There are possibilities for improving the progress of inspections with sim ops with two ROVs for faster handling of inspection work. The aim to improve the UXO surveys will continue. MMT are of course hoping that the SROVs high speed high resolution capabilities prove to be very useful also for the Renewable sector. It is also likely that the development of floating wind farms will increase. www.mmt.se108 PES Wind
