Optimization of vessel fleet size and mix for offshore wind farm maintenance based on a simulation method

The research on sustainable energy is growing, among which, wind energy catching growing attention and the potential has been supported by more and more countries. Compared with onshore wind farms, offshore wind farms have more advantages including the abundant wind resource at the offshore location and more possible construction areas. While...

Decommissioning of Offshore Wind Turbines: A model-based approach to assess cost reducing decommissioning methodologies

The first large offshore wind farms installed in the North Sea Region (NSR) soon reach their technical end of lifetime. The wind turbines in these farms will have to be decommissioned after power production has stopped. Currently offshore wind turbines are decommissioned based on a method called reversed installation, a time consuming and...
