Comparison of Weather Window Statistics and Time Series Based Methods Considering Risk Measures
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 Abstract Offshore projects, like the installation of offshore wind farms, consist of a number of different and often weather dependent activities. These tasks and their relations are defined in project schedules, which have to be assessed for weather effects before the project realization.
