Methodology to study the life cycle cost of floating offshore wind farms [PDF]
, 2013 The main objective of this paper is to determine a theoretical methodology process to study the life cycle cost of floating offshore wind farms. The principal purpose is adapting the LCC (Life-Cycle Cost Calculation) from several authors to the offshore ...

Flow and wakes in large wind farms in complex terrain and offshore [PDF]
, 2008 Power losses due to wind turbine wakes are of the order of 10 and 20% of total power output in large wind farms. The focus of this research carried out within the EC funded UPWIND project is wind speed and turbulence modelling for large wind farms ...

Wind farm wake effects at the Alpha Ventus offshore wind farm
, 2021 As wind energy grows to a significant contributor to the electricity production mix, the number of wind farms with large turbines, especially offshore, increases as well. This leads to wind farms being built closer to each other to increase spatial power density.

Strategic Optimization of Offshore Wind Farm Installation [PDF]
, 2017 This work describes logistical planning of offshore wind farm (OWF) installation through linear programming. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is developed to analyze cost-effective port and vessel strategies for offshore installation operations.

Comparing the economic feasibility of offshore floating wind and solar photovoltaic technologies in Central Mediterranean deep waters [PDF]
, 2015 Malta, being a very small and densely populated island in the central Mediterranean, has little space for large scale onshore wind turbine or photovoltaic projects. Maltese territorial waters are mostly too deep for conventional offshore wind farms
