This study presents a novel method for the selection of sites for floating wind farms based on
marine spatial optimization. After providing a review of the present state of the art, a tool …

The growing global demand for further penetration of renewable energy sources has
highlighted Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs) as a promising solution, particularly in Greece, due …

A Monte Carlo simulation procedure is developed to select the optimum location of wind
farms by using major decision criteria and applying subjective judgments from decision …

The paper aims to develop a decision tool for planning offshore wind farm locations,
combining multi-criteria decision analysis and geographic information systems. This method …

Land-use conflicts, along with the increasing demand for green energy and the unexploited
offshore wind potential, intensify the necessity of the development of Offshore Wind Farms …

Location selection for offshore wind farms is a major challenge for renewable energy policy,
marine spatial planning, and environmental conservation. This selection constitutes a multi …

A novel procedure is introduced to optimise floating turbines' placement in a wind farm. In
the approach, the 'Weighted Product Model (WPM)'is used, which is a Multi-Criteria Decision …

The impacts of climate change must be considered while planning offshore wind turbines
(OWT), as it will result in more frequent and severe weather extremes. To ensure the …

The continued technical and economic development of offshore wind farms needs to match
their sustainable siting transparently and fairly. Aiming to assess existing methodologies …

Purpose The assessment of the economic feasibility of floating offshore wind farms (FOWFs)
plays an important role in the future possible spreading of this challenging technology in the …
