A multi-attribute review toward effective planning of end-of-life strategies for offshore wind farms

Abstract: With many offshore wind turbines (OWTs) approaching the end of their estimated service life, there is an increasing demand for developing and evaluating end-of-life strategies that can maximize these assets' value while at the same time satisfying the requirements of the stakeholders involved. This study aims to perform a detailed review and develop a framework that will consider multiple criteria in the decision-making process, presenting and discussing available technologies and strategies, as well as influe… Show more

“…The repowering process is related to the renewal of capture equipment, in which structures, such as wind turbines, are dismantled in order to replace them with more modern elements with a greater production capacity [20][21][22]. Repowering also has the possibility of being carried out partially in wind farms.…”

“…Consideration of the Zero Waste Hierarchy at the earliest stage of development is crucial in order for renewable energy generation to be sustainable, particularly as structures become larger in size and require more raw and recycled material. A balance needs to be struck between the various environmental, economic, and social aspects of building, life-extending, and decommissioning a wind farm [61], as well as safety to personnel and the environment, and feasibility of strategies [62]. With these topics gathering increasing attention as…”
