  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).

  3. 2. Developing a Cost Model For Combined Offshore Farms : The Advantages of Co-Located Wind and Wave Energy

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Eva Blech; [2023]
    Keywords : Wave Energy; Floating Offshore Wind; Co-located Wind-Wave Farm; Levelized Cost of Energy; Multi-Source Offshore Farm; Vågenergi; flytande havsbaserad vindkraft; samlokaliserad vind- och vågpark; nivellerad energikostnad; havsbaserad park med flera källor;

    Abstract : Previous research has displayed that multi-source farms provide an opportunity to reduce the cost of energy and improve the energy output quality. This thesis assesses the cost competitiveness of co-located wind-wave farms, specifically floating offshore wind (FLOW) turbines and CorPower’s wave energy converters (WEC). READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessing Offshore Wind System Integration: Comparative Analysis of Floating Photovoltaics, Oscillating Surge Wave Converters, and Battery Energy Storage Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Wilhelm Niilekselä; Douglas Hansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The high penetration of wind power is increasing the intermittency and power variability into the existing power grid. This is forcing industries to look for optimal configurations in order to improve their systems performance and minimize these effects from the power production method. READ MORE

  5. 4. Impact of offtake mechanisms on wind turbine selection and design in North and Central Europe

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Gesa Reiter; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind energy; offtake mechanisms; wind turbine configuration and design; rated power; capacity factor; Renewable Energy Sources Act; EEG; PPA; merchant; profitability; NPV; IRR; Vindkraft; upphandlingsmekanismer; vindturbiners konfiguration och utformning; nominell effekt; kapacitetsfaktor; lagen om förnybara energikällor; EEG; energiköpsavtal; handelsprissättning; lönsamhet; NPV; IRR;

    Abstract : Wind power has become a major supplier of electricity in the European market in the last years. In 2020, 13% of electricity generated on the European continent was wind energy (onshore and offshore) and these shares are projected to increase in the next years due to reasons such as climate change and the energy security aspect.
