“…But independent uniform distributions are the most prevalent assumption. 3 , 12 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 This approach is backed by the maximum entropy approach, 3 which states that given the persistent lack of knowledge about the distribution the independent uniform distribution, that makes fewest assumptions, is most appropriate. Although the assumed independence may neglect synergies between technologies, for example, between offshore and onshore wind turbine development, we follow the literature by assuming that the cost are independent and uniformly distributed within the ranges specified in Table 1 .…”
