FOREWORD
WINDUSTRY FRANCE is a government-backed industry initiative aiming to help French businesses succeed in the wind power industry In the first edition of this directory, 140 companies operating in France were identified as active subcontractors in the French wind power industry. As part of its efforts to reindustrialise the country, the Ministry for Industrial Renewal decided to found Windustry France, as a way of supporting the sector’s small and mid-sized businesses. The initiative aims to showcase French expertise and how it can be transposed to both the onshore and offshore wind energy industries. At the very core of the “made in France” campaign, the companies identified by the Windustry France initiative operate at all stages of the value chain, from parts manufacture (masts, generators, brakes, blade orientation systems, yaw drives, electrical components, power electronics, etc.) to related activities such as site development, power grid connection, civil works, and the transport, assembly and storage of wind turbine parts. The Windustry France directory of skills and expertise in wind power production now features over 250 companies from France’s industrial base. Windustry France also has a programme to provide individual assistance and support so that companies seeking to break into new markets can diversify into the wind power industry. Led by the Syndicat des Energies Renouvelables (France’s Renewable Energy Association), Windustry France is a strategic reindustrialisation tool which, with the support of the Ministry for Industrial Renewal, can help businesses that have historically been active in the energy, automotive, rail, naval, and aviation sectors. Industrial renewal is a vital issue for France, requiring the commitment of both the State and all the country’s economic forces, whatever their field of operation. It is to be achieved through thirty-four industry programmes, one of which is entirely dedicated to renewable energy.

INTRODUCTION
WINDUSTRY FRANCE and the 2014 French Wind Power Industry Directory THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT HAS ENTRUSTED THE COUNTRY’S WIND POWER INDUSTRY, AS REPRESENTED BY THE SYNDICAT DES ENERGIES RENOUVELABLES (SER - FRENCH RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION), WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF ITS OWN INDUSTRIAL RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMME, WINDUSTRY FRANCE, INCLUDING USING THE PUBLIC FUNDS IT HAS RECEIVED AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE, TO EXPAND ACTIVITY IN THIS PROMISING NEW FIELD. The programme focuses on providing customised support and guidance to businesses, in order to help them develop new industrial processes so as to win contracts from wind power contractors, thus diversifying their activity and creating new jobs. The goal of the programme is to provide assistance to at least 50 businesses: 20 in 2013 and 30 more in 2014. Beneficiaries of the programme are selected by contractors in the wind power industry, who are the programme’s partners and members of its steering committee. Assistance begins with an audit of a company’s industrial plant by a wind power expert, who will make a list of recommendations that the company will have to follow if it is to satisfy purchasers. The next stage of support is provided by a technological expert, who advises the company on the investments it will need to make in order to fulfil the recommendations of the wind power expert. The Windustry France directory complements this individual support programme by mapping the French wind power industry. It is intended to provide an overview of all the players involved in the industry, on the one hand showcasing what French manufacturers have to offer (such as electrical and mechanical parts, and industrial and technical services), and, on the other, listing the contractors operating in the wind power industry - wind turbine manufacturers, power plant developers and operators, etc., on whose strategic choices will depend the ability of French subcontractors to develop their business.

THE WIND POWER INDUSTRY VALUE CHAIN

WINDUSTRY FRANCE - THE FRENCH WIND POWER INDUSTRY 2014
> ONSHORE WIND ENERGY Altogether, France’s onshore wind farms have a total capacity of over 8,000 MW. A wind turbine consists of a number of sophisticated sub-assemblies that transform the wind’s mechanical energy into electricity. A wind turbine generally comprises the following components: • a rotor comprising three blades and a hub • a nacelle consisting of a frame, gearbox, generator, and a shell made of composite materials • a tower consisting of a mast, electric converters, a transformer, and a control system. Today, onshore wind turbines have multi-megawatt power ratings ranging from 2 to 3 MW on average, but a few particular machines have even greater capacity.
> OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY France has Europe’s second highest potential for offshore wind energy and has set a goal of installing 6,000 MW off its coasts by 2020. One of the main differences between onshore and offshore wind turbines lies in the latter’s foundations, which are based on the same technology as is used for oil rigs. Installing wind farms offshore enables to increase generator capacity. Currently, turbines are available with capacities of 5 to 6 MW, and turbines with up to 8 to 10 MW of power are under development.
> DOMESTIC WIND POWER Small or domestic wind power is used by private individuals who install a turbine in their garden. Domestic wind turbines have capacities of less than 36 kW, range from 10 to 35 m high, and have a total diameter of 2 to 10 m.These installations are especially useful when combined with photovoltaic and energy storage devices to supply power to isolated areas not connected to a power grid.

FIELDS
22 FIELDS OF SPECIALTY TECHNICAL SURVEYS, DESIGN OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS, MANUFACTURE OF STEEL AND COMPOSITE PARTS, CIVIL WORKS, ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE– THE WIND POWER INDUSTRY EMBRACES A VARIETY OF TRADES.
Contractors WIND FARM DEVELOPERS The development of a wind farm project starts with the identification of a potential site, discussions with local communities and landowners, environmental studies, and obtaining administrative authorisation. This is followed by site preparation, supply and assembly of the wind turbines, connection to the power grid, and commissioning. WIND TURBINE MANUFACTURERS There are several types of wind turbine manufacturers. Some are merely integrators, while others prefer to be in charge of the production of certain key components. Still others handle all aspects of turbine manufacture, right from the design stage to the manufacture of almost every part, and final assembly. WIND FARM OPERATORS The operator comes into the picture when the wind turbine is ready to be commissioned. The operator is the producer of the electricity that is injected into the power grid. Operators oversee and maintain the wind turbines, either using their own teams or external service providers.
Parts Manufacture BLADES The average blade on a modern wind turbine is 30 to 80 metres long. Its shaping closely resembles that of an aeroplane wing or a ship’s hull.
12
WINDUSTRY FRANCE - THE FRENCH WIND POWER INDUSTRY 2014
NACELLES The nacelle is the compartment housing the parts at the top of the wind turbine. It is normally made of composite materials.The process for making the nacelle and the nose cone is the same as for a blade, although nacelles do not require the same level of precision or strength. Nacelles are usually made up of multiple sections. CAST PARTS The processes for making the nacelle frame and hub are the same: they are both large, smelted, machined parts. The framework for a 2 MW turbine generally consists of two or three pieces that can weigh up to 4,500 kg each. FLANGES AND SLEWING RINGS A slewing ring transfers force from a turning part of a mechanism to a fixed part. In the case of a wind turbine, slewing devices allow the rotor and blades to change direction depending on the direction and force of the wind. ELECTRICAL MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS Components are assembled and integrated into various subassemblies throughout the wind turbine, including the generator, power converters, motor reducers, wiring, transformers, and control systems. BRAKES If necessary, especially when wind speed is too high, disc brakes can be used to stop the wind turbine in no more than a few rotations. The system allows the turbine to brake gently without putting too much strain or fatigue on the tower or mechanical elements. MECHANICAL PARTS Power transmission is one of the keys to a wind turbine’s output and capacity. An array of mechanical and hydraulic parts transmits the wind’s kinetic energy to a gearbox, which transfers the rotating movement at more than a thousand rotations per minute to the generator, which converts the energy to electricity. MASTS Wind turbine masts are made of steel or reinforced-concrete conical tubes. Modern towers range from 65 to 140 m in height. The base of the mast can be over 5 m in diameter,
WINDUSTRY FRANCE - THE FRENCH WIND POWER INDUSTRY 2014
13
but the mast becomes narrower towards the top, usually reaching about 3 m in diameter. Towers usually come in three or four sections.
Site Preparation GEOTECHNICAL SURVEYS Before a wind turbine is assembled, geotechnical surveys are conducted to inspect the subsoil structure and determine the necessary size of the foundations. Such surveys include taking soil samples and analysing them in a laboratory. WIND MEASUREMENTS Wind measurements are taken before building a wind farm, in order to measure the quality of the wind on site and determine the best position for the turbine. Turbines are also equipped with wind measurement devices to help determine the direction of the rotor and blades, so that the turbine always produces a maximum amount of energy. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Companies specialising in electricity transport and distribution systems are involved early in the project, to find the best technical solution for evacuating energy produced to the power grid. They provide electrical equipment that is integrated into city gate stations, as well as cables to link wind turbines together. They also work at construction sites to install underground cables and build city gate stations and connections. FOUNDATIONS AND EARTHWORKS Safe access to the site must be provided so that the wind turbines can be delivered and assembled. Roads must be widened and sometimes reinforced. Earthwork and foundation-building services are generally performed by local companies specialising in civil engineering and road-building. EXPERT ASSESSMENTS Engineering offices specialising in the wind power industry assist developers throughout a project, conducting the necessary expert evaluations, such as assessment of the total arising, structural calculations, and modelling of electrical installations, etc.

WINDUSTRY FRANCE - THE FRENCH WIND POWER INDUSTRY 2014
INSPECTION OFFICES Inspection offices are authorised to help both the initial contractor and the companies contracted to provide the services required. They check to ensure that wind turbine installations comply with prevailing regulations, from dimensioning through to construction and operation.
Commissioning SPECIAL TRANSPORT, LOGISTICS, HANDLING, AND HOISTING Each wind turbine is transported in several pieces, most of which require special transport. Ocean or river transport is preferred. The pieces are then taken the rest of the way by lorry to the installation site. AIRCRAFT WARNING LIGHTS As a safety measure, wind turbines must be marked and visible from the air. Current technology uses powerful LED lights, with all the lights on a single wind farm blinking simultaneously. ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE The process for unloading and assembling wind turbine parts requires two cranes: one very high capacity crane (at least 800 tonnes and a minimum 100 m boom) and a medium-capacity crane (about 120 tonnes) that can turn parts around, for example, from a horizontal position to a vertical one or vice versa. Wind turbine maintenance requires skills in mechanics and electrical engineering, as well as familiarity with IT tools and the ability to work at great heights. OFFSHORE The expertise required to build offshore wind turbines is similar to that needed for building offshore oil rigs. The skills of the shipbuilding and maritime industries are indispensable when constructing or maintaining offshore wind farms. DOMESTIC WIND POWER Small wind turbines are often manufactured by smaller businesses and sold locally. Designers come up with all sorts of ideas for creating silent, pleasant-looking machines that can work with a wide range of wind speeds, in their attempts to satisfy the requirements of private individuals.

One of the types of renewable energy currently under development is marine energy, which includes attractive technologies to respond to European energy development issues. Marine energy causes fewer disturbances to society due to the fact that equipment for it is installed out at sea.There are seven distinct types of marine energy: fixed-bottom and floating wind turbines; tidal and river turbines and sea-current energy, wave energy, marine thermal energy (SWAC, sea water heat pump, electricity production by ocean thermal energy), tidal power, biomass transformation, and osmotic pressure. The Pole Mer Méditerranée cluster runs a collaborative R&D program dedicated to marine renewable energy. The cluster is especially involved in the development of the floating offshore wind energy industrial sector. The Pole Mer Méditerranée cluster is a member of France Energies Marines. Key numbers: A sustained R&D program with more than 200 certified projects with a research and development budget of €564 billion. A 350-member network that includes 168 small and medium-sized businesses, 80 groups and large businesses, and 73 research and training organisations. The cluster was certified as an internationally-oriented competitiveness cluster in the Sea category by the CIADT committee on 12 July 2005.

ORGANIZATION The goal of the policy adopted by the Champagne-Ardenne region is to boost the economic appeal of the region and create an environment conducive to the development of the companies. The region has developed tools adapted to the local conditions to sustain the regional economy, consolidate its quality business hosting environment, and run its Centres of Excellence, including the wind power sector. The region provides support to strategic projects and helps French and international investors relocate to the area.
ACTIVITIES Since 2002, Champagne-Ardenne has been a popular area for the installation of wind turbines, thanks to its abundant wind resources and the vast open spaces available. With more than 1,264 MW of rated power, Champagne-Ardenne is now France’s leading region for wind power, with 60 wind farms and 629 wind turbines. Businesses specialising in wind power development will find huge growth potential (with a goal of 2,870 MW by 2020) and a favourable public policy formalised in a regional wind energy plan approved in 2012. Relocating companies will find competitive relocation costs, a strategic location in the heart of one of the most promising areas of France, and an emerging market in wind turbine maintenance and repowering. More than 50% of rated power in France is located within a radius of 300 km around Champagne-Ardenne and benefits from easy access to wind farms in the Benelux zone. Champagne-Ardenne will be one of the first regions concerned by repowering and thus by the development of an industry based around deconstructing and the management of components’ end-of-life. Many companies in Champagne-Ardenne are involved in subcontracting for the wind power industry and are able to produce the enormous, highly-complex equipment. This hotbed of companies offers great opportunities for European prime contractors to diversify their suppliers. Finally, training opportunities also meet current wind power industry needs with in particular since 2006, the first training course in France recognised by the profession and leading to the BZEE certificate.
LOCATIONS Located in Châlons-en-Champagne, the Economic Development Department is available to wind farm developers, equipment manufacturers and maintenance companies in the wind power sector.
