“…ECN has further developed the Operations and Maintenance Cost Estimator (OMCE) (Rademakers, Braam, Obdam, & Pieterman 2009), a simulationbased model developed in MATLAB designed to support logistics decisions during the post-warranty period of the wind farm. Garrad Hassan and Partners have developed the O2M (Optimisation of Operations & Maintenance) computer model (Phillips, Morgan, & Jacquemin 2005) which simulates the operation of a wind farm to yield long-term average O&M cost estimates, whereas the MWCOST model (Rowe, Dello, Frank, Brendling, & Grittner 2000) is a simulation model developed initially for managing offshore oil and gas projects and further adopted for application in offshore wind contexts.…”
