Background
- Need for optimization tools of the architecture of RME parks: taking into account technical and economical constraints.
- Techno-economic approach: development of cost models, exploitation models, maintenance and availability models.
This presentation was produced with inputs of the OWARD project, conducted by the University of Nantes. The OWARD project was carried out within the framework of the WEAMEC, and with funding from Pays de la Loire Region, by Nantes University.
Abstract
Recently, offshore wind farms have attracted more and more attention because of their greater energy capacity. To get the best performances of a wind farm park, a technical and economic compromise between energy yields and overall investment must be established. In this paper, a study was done on Borssele I & II offshore wind farm with HVAC and HVDC transmission technologies to compare their performances with different transmission distances.
