Decision-support tool for the analysis of new installation concepts

Master thesis (2019) - Maksym Semenyuk, M B Zaaijer, M Reinders, Simon Watson, Eliz-Mari Lourens
In order to assist project developers in efficient offshore wind farm installation planning a decision-support tool has been developed. The tool combines Discrete Event Simulation and Black-box Optimization. The focus of the development was on providing the flexibility allowing a user to compare various installation strategies and impact on the total installation cost and vessel workability. Synthetic weather generation with Markov Chains was implemented in order to account for weather effects. Recomendations have been given for weather modelling (for the purpose of installation planning) and for applying different families of black-box optimization algorithms. ...
