document targets all personnel that shall do work, follow-up deliveries or provide equipment/systems to the two, completely segregated, MWF Bałtyk II & MWF Bałtyk III offshore substations. The objective of this specification is to detail the functional and technical requirements for the MFW (BII) and MFW (BIII) OSS topsides. The Offshore Substation (OSS) Substructure Technical Specification can be found in /4/. This specification shall be read in conjunction with all the the Project Specific technical requirements listed in Appendix E. The MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III Design Basis Error! Reference source not found., set the design premises and principles for developing the OSS. The design shall incorporate Operations and Maintenance Requirements /20/ where applicable to the OSS. Any conflict between these requirements and other specifications/standards or industry best practice shall be highlighted for Company review. The design of the OSS shall adhere to Polish rules and regulations. If conflict: Polish rules and regulations shall prevail. The design of the OSS shall be based on DNV-ST-0145; Offshore substations /2/ including references to other standards and guidelines, and shall be used to supplement gaps in the Polish rules and regulations where relevant. The technical requirements herein shall complement with /2/, and if in conflict, the Contractor shall inform Company. 2 Main Design Criteria 2.1 General The OSS topside shall be designed as one unit to be fully assembled and pre-commissioned at onshore yard as far as reasonably practical. The design shall facilitate all foreseeable work in a safe and efficient manner covering all phases. The general design is described by the following: • Normally unmanned platform • Enclosed platform design – minimize amount of equipment located outdoor • Safe and efficient design • Integrated remote control and monitoring including condition monitoring of all main equipment • Minimize environmental impact through all phases and lifetime of plant • Facilitate for night shift work and during cold periods • Access/egress via Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV), Service Operation Vessel (SOV) and Jack-up Rig (JUR) • Secondary escape via helicopter winching and tertiary via chute/raft. All platform services and utilities which impact the availability of the transmission system, through failure or maintenance, shall be designed with redundancy. Classification: Internal Status: Final Expiry date: N/A 6 of 80 granularity=word contentanalysis={punctuationbreaks=false dehyphenate=false} layoutanalysis={tabledetect=0 layoutdetect=0} 2.2 Personnel on board (POB) The POB for the offshore substation shall be optimized through all phases of the plant targeting 12 POB during operational phase and 24 POB during hook-up, commissioning and initial operation phase. In addition, there shall be extra safety equipment for 12 persons (total of 36 persons) on board during the hook-up, commissioning and initial operation phase. The target of 12 POB in operational phase is dependent on the number of subsuppliers being introduced in the EPC process. The design maintenance requirements will drive manning levels. The final optimized POB for the individual phases shall be agreed with Company. Additional equipment and facilities may be brought onboard to increase the POB during campaigns and temporary phases to minimize the design POB. 2.3 Safe and efficient design The offshore substation shall achieve a safe and efficient design to ensure maintenance and operation friendliness by: • selecting concepts requiring minimum amount of topside equipment and man-hours for maintenance • selecting equipment with high quality in materials, high durability and low maintenance requirements with proven track record for similar use in offshore applications • designing systems with redundancy to minimize consequence of failures and maintenance without impacting plant availability • designing systems such that faults do not need rectification until next planned maintenance visit and repair/maintenance of equipment or system does not interfere with other equipment or systems • utilizing condition monitoring systems, remote testing and/or additional sensors/signals where practically possible to increase availability and reduce required man-hours offshore • ensuring remote testing and remote control from onshore Central Control Room (CCR) can be performed without risk of causing any disturbance in operation or loss of plant availability • minimize requirement for enhanced training of maintenance personnel. This entails: o aim to design systems and select equipment that does not require special training/certification to perform maintenance or repair o material handling design which minimize use of main platform crane o minimize requirement for tools/equipment that require special training/certification • considering climatic conditions to ensure operability all year, by appropriate level of winterisation and protection against adverse weather • selecting concepts and plant design to accommodate an efficient and safe decommissioning at end-of- life Refer to safety strategy for risk mitigation and safety barriers requirements, /17/. Classification: Internal Status: Final Expiry date: N/A 7 of 80 granularity=word contentanalysis={punctuationbreaks=false dehyphenate=false} layoutanalysis={tabledetect=0 layoutdetect=0} 2.4 Maintenance philosophy 3 SSU The maintenance shall guarantee safe and operable equipment, achieve legislative compliance, ensure equipment integrity and maintain equipment warranty. Effective maintenance relies on carrying out the right maintenance, at the right time, for the right cost and with the right resources. The wind farm shall be routinely maintained by utilising a Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV), with the future possible use of a Service Operations Vessel (SOV) for campaign-based inspection and maintenance. Winching of personnel to/from the OSS with helicopter, in case of emergency, shall be facilitated. High frequency maintenance activities (e.g. monthly, quarterly) shall be avoided, with the aim of no more than 12-month maintenance frequencies. The exception to this shall be when relevant laws and regulations require more frequent inspections. Outages impacting transmission system availability shall be no more frequent than once every 3 years. Sufficient redundancy and durability of equipment shall be designed into systems to maximise availability and minimise unplanned visits, with the aim that common faults do not require rectification until the planned annual/3 yearly maintenance visit (as applicable). Where temporary equipment is required for any routine maintenance, it shall be clearly defined and specified in relevant documentation. The most practical, safe and cost-efficient solutions shall be considered when it comes to if temporary equipment and tools shall be brought from shore or installed/stored offshore. 3.1 Working environment 3.1.1 Access For general requirements for working environment, reference is made to /15/. All equipment and areas shall have safe and efficient access for plant operations and maintenance in accordance with ISO 14122:2016, parts 1-4 /11/. In addition to this: • Protruding objects shall be avoided in walkways, access ways, escape routes and transportation ways • Walkways, access ways, escape routes, transportation ways, laydown areas, plated decks and workspaces shall have anti slip surfaces • Risk for falling ice and falling snow shall be assessed for work areas, access ways, transportation ways and escape ways and if necessary, mitigating actions shall be implemented. • Where possible, the platform design shall avoid steps and ladders to create a step-less working environment. Door thresholds shall be removable if used • Stairs shall be used when possible, instead of ladders • Manholes and confined spaces shall be avoided where practically possible • No areas are allowed where rescue-up is the only evacuation strategy • Location of equipment and instruments to be carefully chosen to enable safe and efficient maintenance: o Visual displays, gauges, level glasses etc. shall be easy to read from ground level Classification: Internal Status: Final Expiry date: N/A 8 of 80 granularity=word contentanalysis={punctuationbreaks=false dehyphenate=false} layoutanalysis={tabledetect=0 layoutdetect=0} o Access to perform maintenance and inspections shall be possible from ground level or with suitable fixed access method. Where this is not practical or possible Company shall be consulted o Access to operate equipment shall be from ground level or with permanent access platform o Requirement to use scaffolding for access is not accepted for regular maintenance activities o No offboard access needs or working at height close to platform edges triggering need for man- overboard stand-by vessel. Where this is not practical or possible Company shall be consulted o The operators reach to equipment shall be <= 500 mm o At work position, ensure a 700 mm clearance for working (maintenance space) • It shall be possible to operate outdoor handles, switches etc. while wearing gloves • In case scaffolding or other temporary aids are needed either during hook-up or planned maintenance, support brackets / attachment points on the structure shall be included as required 3.1.2 Fall Protection System General Fall protection systems shall cover the complete topside and substructure through all phases ensuring the personnel are always protected from falling from any height. This includes also local fall protection systems on equipment and structures where access is required to operate equipment or perform planned maintenance. Selected fall protection systems shall be reported to and agreed with Company in early design stage to enable Company to standardize. In the boat landing access area, special considerations shall be given to the design of handrails and stanchions in order to support fall arrest system and anchor points. Extent of this additional requirement is based on the design where further recommendation from the designer is expected. All connections between elements shall be securely fixed by lock nuts and through bolts, or self-tapping screws. Setscrew type connections are not acceptable as permanent fixing method. The fixed connections shall not loosen or weaken by normal use, wind or platform vibrations. Handrails and guardrails, stairs and ladders All handrails and guardrails shall be solidly designed for personnel protection and shall resist the accidental impact of a falling person, in any direction and at any point. The installed hand and guardrail system and stairs and ladders, complete with all its parts and fixing details, shall be maintenance free. Secondary retention (such as double nuts etc) shall be considered for all fixings where possible. Materials shall be in accordance with the materials selection philosophy, /7/. The multi-barrier principle shall apply for the complete hand and guardrail system and stairs and ladders, where a single fault shall not cause a system failure. Any weaknesses or faults developed over time shall be detectable by visual inspection. Caged ladders (ladders with back scratcher) shall not be used. Other types of fall arrest systems shall be used. Inclined ladders should be avoided. Fall arrest system Each OSS shall be equipped with sufficient fall arrest systems. Classification: Internal Status: Final Expiry date: N/A 9 of 80 granularity=word contentanalysis={punctuationbreaks=false dehyphenate=false} layoutanalysis={tabledetect=0 layoutdetect=0} The mounting location of the fall arrest system shall ensure suitable access for installation and maintenance purposes of these systems. The equipment shall be located high enough to reduce the possibility of collision with personnel when connecting/disconnecting from the system. All fall arrest systems shall be certified for outdoor use and storage (marine environment). The rescue and evacuation systems (descender devices for rescue) and Fall Arrest Self Retracting LifeLines shall be delivered according to the relevant standard. External fall arrest tether line systems should be of simple type, with all units on ladders to sea with a weak link between tether line and fall arrest device. Bottom bracket for tether line system should be at Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) line. For all relevant areas where a fall prevention system is not practical and a fall arrest system shall be used, it shall be assessed whether a permanent device or an anchor point for a device shall be made. Anchor points Suitable rescue device anchor points shall be above all fall arrest devices and attachment points. The anchor point of the fall arrest system at the upper section of the ladder shall be made of coated stainless steel to avoid corrosion happening as a result of coating damage when servicing the system. Where possible, anchor points shall be designed to always allow for the lowest fall factor. Anchoring points shall be located on locations where the danger of falling exists and no guard-rail can be constructed (e.g. a hatch or gate-opening, a platform, a ladder end). The location of the anchor points shall consider the positions that personnel are required to stand in order to stabilize loads, the maximum length of fall arrest lanyard, and the anchor point is required to be of suitable dimension to allow a hook to be connected. Fall arrest equipment and systems shall be of modular design to allow for offshore maintenance and certification. Guidance note: Anchor point: point on an anchor device or structural anchor used for the connection of personal fall protection equipment Anchor lanyard: lanyard connected to the main attachment point of the harness, which normally incorporates a connector, and which is used for connection to an anchor point NOTE Some anchor lanyards are also known as cow’s tails 3.1.3 Welfare and emergency accommodation facilities A multi-purpose area shall be available at suitable location on the lowest topside deck to house the required welfare and emergency accommodation facilities for personnel working on the OSS. The multi-purpose area shall be a single enclosed area with internal divisions to create separate rooms to accommodate the different functions and facilities required in suitable spaces for the intended uses and applications. The multi-purpose area shall be designed as a manned area. The multi-purpose area shall contain the following functions and facilities: • Changing area including personal lockers • Primary muster area Classification: Internal Status: Final Expiry date: N/A 10 of 80 granularity=word contentanalysis={punctuationbreaks=false dehyphenate=false} layoutanalysis={tabledetect=0 layoutdetect=0} • Emergency overnight shelter • Resting/eating area with pantry • Office/workstation facilities • Storage facility for emergency, escape and rescue equipment • Separate area to facilitate toilets with air extraction units The multi-purpose area shall minimum contain the following equipment: • Personal lockers and bench area for POB • Table with chairs for POB, including sockets for personal laptops • Pantry including: (with timer on electric appliances): o Microwave o Electric kettle o Facility for hand wash o Cupboard o Trash can • Floor space for emergency overnight shelter for POB • Storage facilities for emergency, escape and rescue equipment, including: o Two (2) incinerated toilets o Emergency shower o Sleeping bags, sleeping pads, dry provision, and bottled water for POB for 5 days o Other miscellaneous safety and first aid equipment ref 3.3.1 • Two (2) foldable bedsCommunication facilities, such as VHF station, IP telephony, fixed UHF-radio • Slave Fire Detection (FiDe) and Fire fighting (FiFi) control panel • One Electrical System Interface (ESI) SCADA workstation, one Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) SCADA workstation and one engineering workstation The layout design of the multi-purpose area shall consider the locker/changing room area as a wet area designated as the main entrance separated from the other rooms with internal doors. This is to split the area into a dirty and a clean zone and to function as an “airlock” for the office/welfare area to external environments. The locker/changing room area shall be designated as the primary muster area. 3.1.4 Hazardous chemicals Exhaust outlets and vents containing hazardous components shall be designed to prevent contamination into air inlets and work areas. A permanently installed cabinet shall be located at suitable location outdoors to enable temporary storage of hazardous chemicals.

The substructure foundation is either piles or suction buckets which generally give a low impedance earth connection. The PE-system, IE- system and equipotential bonding is established from the main earth. Classification: Internal Status: Final Expiry date: N/A 41 of 80 granularity=word contentanalysis={punctuationbreaks=false dehyphenate=false} layoutanalysis={tabledetect=0 layoutdetect=0} The system earth connection to main earth shall be through a separate main earth cable onto an earthing boss/bar welded to the main earth. The earthing boss/bar shall be located as close as possible to the equipment without risk of corrosion and other damage and with access for inspection. In general, all rooms shall have main earth boss/bar which establish relevant earthing systems. Only one conductor is allowed on each earthing terminal point. If IE earth is required, it shall be established from a separate main earth boss/bar with minimum one meter distance from other main earth boss/bar. Main earth bars shall be made of copper. Main earth bosses shall be made of AISI 316 L stainless steel. In outdoor and naturally ventilated areas, after connection, the whole assembly shall be sealed in to maintain the contact and prevent corrosion. Guidance note: An aerosol based compound, making a waxy or rubber/resin based and tough film is preferred for sealing purposes. 6.9.2 PE system Earthing and bonding practices shall follow IEC standards unless Polish requirements are stricter. All equipment running on a voltage above 30 V AC or 50 V DC shall have “supply” of PE. The “PE-supply” means equipment is earthed to the platform PE system. The PE-supply shall be continuous from main PE earth boss in main LV boards to final consumer. The PE-supply shall be made of copper. PE conductor cross-section shall as a minimum be as listed by applicable IEC standards. PE earthing of main equipment located indoors can be to local earth boss in room but shall also be connected to platform PE system through PE-supply in power cable.
