Decision Making under Uncertainty for Construction Management of Offshore Wind Assets

Offshore wind is expected to be one of the important contributors to the energy transition towards a more renewable and sustainable energy future. This can be clearly seen from the amount of investments over the past years as well as from the substantial upcoming offshore wind projects in the years to come. Many technological implementation...

Offshore infrastructure planning using a vine copula approach for environmental conditions: an application for replacement maintenance of tidal energy infrastructure

Installation and maintenance operations of offshore assets are impacted by local environmental conditions such as wave height and period, wind speed and current velocity. These parameters are substantially of influence for the asset planning (time and costs) given the uncertainty of operational windows. In this article, a method is proposed to...

Decision support for offshore asset construction using expert judgments for supply disruptions risk

Offshore asset construction is a complex and costly process that is subject to various uncertainties within the entire supply chain. Hence, both the construction management optimization and the reduction of deployment expenditures should be supported by automated decision support models which include proper representations of predominant...

Probabilistic scheduling of offshore operations using copula based environmental time series: An application for cable installation management for offshore wind farms

There are numerous uncertainties that impact offshore operations. However, environmental uncertainties concerning variables such as wave height and wind speed are crucial because these may affect installation and maintenance operations with potential delays and financial consequences. In order to include these uncertainties into the duration...

Design of a probabilistic decision support tool for the cable installation of an offshore wind farm

During the past years a lot of attention has been drawn towards the development of renewables, due to the expected depletion of fossil fuels and political decisions. Offshore wind energy is considered as one of the most promising renewable energy sources, however the cost of offshore wind farms have not yet reached competitive levels. Hence...
