Current facts about offshore wind farms

A novel hybrid MCDM approach for offshore wind farm site selection: A case study of Iran

“…Lately, the focus of wind power developers and energy planners has shifted towards the coastal zone in an increasing number of countries such as Denmark, UK, Germany and etc (Ladenburg, 2009). Many works performed in the feasibility study of OWF installation in various countries with related their criteria (Pantaleo et al, 2005;Manwell et al, 2007;Schillings et al, 2012;O'Keeffe and Haggett, 2012;Wieczorek et al, 2013;SalcedoSanz et al, 2013;Reubens et al, 2014;Martín Mederos et al, 2011;Veigas and Iglesias, 2013;Da et al, 2011;Chen, 2011;Zhixin et al, 2009;Madariaga et al, 2012;Mostafaeipour, 2010;Oh et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2013;Islam et al, 2012;Mani and Dhingra, 2013). The feasibility of wind power development depends on multi criteria like; wind resources and, especially, constructability offshore.…”

The legal and economic impacts of implementing a joint feed-in premium support scheme on the development of an offshore grid

“…These TGCs are issued by a central authority to generators of renewable energy to certify the generation of one unit of renewable energy [33]. The generators sell the TGCs to the obliged suppliers or consumers on an open market of renewable values [34].…”

Evaluation of electrical losses in MVAC collector systems in offshore wind farms

“…Furthermore, it is evident that investment costs are higher and could explain why developers are taking into account new collector designs, especially with redundancy, efficiency/low losses and costs [3][4][5].…”
