  1. 1. Offshore Wind Farms in Norway : A Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Site Location

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Adam Törnqvist; Vincent Edberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Offshore wind power; Spatial Multi-criteria Analysis; Renewable energy; Suit-ability map; Geographical Information System; Havsbaserad vindkraft; Spatial multikriterieanalys; Förnybar energi; Lämp-lighetskarta; Geografiskt informationssystem;

    Abstract : Recognizing the imperative transition towards renewable energy sources to combat climate change, this study explores the outlooks for offshore wind power in Norway, a country endowed with extensive coastlines and favourable wind conditions. The thesis sets out to support decision-making processes by synthesizing contemporary research and applying context-specific insights to the southern half of the Norwegian economic zone (NEZ) into a comprehensive Spatial-Multi-criteria Analysis (SMCA).

    Author : Anders Nyberg; Oskar Sundström; [2023]
    Keywords : Multi-Criteria Decision Making; Analytical Hierarchy Process; Cost Benefit Analysis; Offshore Wind Farm Siting; Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone; Levelized Cost of Energy; GIS; Sweden; Renewable Energy; Offshore Wind Energy; Spatial Model Comparison; Multikriterieanalys; Analytisk hierarkiprocess; Kostnadsintäktsanalys; Siting av havsbaserade vindkraftverk; Sveriges exklusiva ekonomiska zon; Nivåkostnad för energi; GIS; Sverige; Förnybar energi; Havsbaserad vindkraft; Jämförelse av spatiala modeller; Multi-Criteria Decision Making; Analytical Hierarchy Process; Cost Benefit Analysis;

    Abstract : This study aims to explore the ability of a multi-criteria decision making with analytical hierarchy process (MCDM-AHP) model to emulate the results of a cost benefit analysis (CBA) model in the context of offshore wind farm siting within the Swedish exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The research question addressed is whether the MCDM-AHP analysis produces similar results to the CBA analysis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multi-Criterion Macro-Siting Analysis of Offshore Wind Farm Potential in Sweden.

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Oskar Sundström; [2021]
    Keywords : Offshore wind; offshore wind energy; wind energy; offshore; GIS; multi-criteria analysis; MCDM; AHP; macro siting; swedenproduction potential;

    Abstract : Sweden has a great potential for offshore wind energy production. As technology develops and policies change, construction of offshore wind farms in the country is likely to increase. The presented methodology is to apply MCDM and AHP methods in a GIS to produce an evaluation map of potential sites for offshore wind energy production. READ MORE
