Offshore wind turbines can capture more wind than onshore because of their larger structure and location. This higher yield even fails to reduce the high installation and maintenance cost of an offshore wind farm (OWF). Appropriate turbine parameters and installation site selection may maximize the power generation which is a way to trade off these costs. Knowing the wind thrust force, air density, and power coefficient beforehand can help select an appropriate site for turbine location. Once the site is selected, the optimal value of turbine variables such as height and radius can contribute to higher power yield. In this paper, a MINLP (Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programing) model is formulated with these important variables and the optimal values of these variables are determined to maximize the annual power production ([Formula: see text]) from offshore wind farm. The estimated power production, [Formula: see text], is calculated using two methods, mathematical programing method and simulation method. Computational result indicates that mathematical programing method is time consuming but more accurate whereas the accuracy of simulation method is proportional to the number of iterations. Although the result of a simulation can be improved to some extent, it cannot be as accurate as mathematical modeling for this study. These study results have great impact on the managerial decision and long range strategic and technical planning for maximizing power generation from an offshore wind farm.

“…Ro¨ckmann et al (2017) and Meng et al (2016) reported that operations and maintenance cost is 1/5th of the total life cycle cost of OWF. The primary goal of maintenance is to reduce downtime (Tusar and Sarker, 2022). Van Horenbeek and Pintelon (2013) showed that assigning a penalty cost in the inventory model can take care of this issue.…”

Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) downtime causes huge financial loss to the stakeholders. One of the major concerns for them is to reduce the downtime of the offshore wind turbine as much as possible. To do this, inventory managers must keep the required number of spare parts in the inventory. It is important to forecast the type and amount of spare parts ahead of time. The maintenance team tries to figure out failure symptoms to predict the approximate time for failure. This prediction helps to purchase and stock spare parts systematically. There is a trade-off between the ordering cost, holding cost, and shortage cost. Proper inventory planning saves a manager from placing expensive emergency orders and also an extended period of holding spare parts. The desired service level should be determined earlier, based on which spare parts planning is done. In this paper, some prominent spare parts models have been studied, findings have been systematically presented, compared against some key determinant factors, critical analysis has been performed and the applicability of the models has been discussed. More than a 100 research articles on spare parts have been reviewed and major contributions from the most relevant articles in OWF have been presented in this paper. One advanced spare parts modeling reported up to 51% cost reduction compared to traditional spare parts planning. Another integrated spare parts planning reported 27% savings. This critical review aims to suggest some guidelines for the managers and other associates of wind farms about the effective and efficient spare parts management technique from the beginning of the turbine installation to the end of its life cycle.

This study mainly focuses on the environmental impact of renewable energy resources. Several types of energy resources are available such as: solar energy, tidal energy, hydro power energy and wind power. Solar panels are used for strong extra energy sources. Turbines are also essential tools for making hydropower energy globally. Reservoirs and dams are mainly used to alter natural flow of rivers. Natural electricity is made with the help of these renewable resources. Green practices are also helpful for making electricity in a successive manner. Emission of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases are also mitigated by this particular process. Tidal energy sources are effectively environmentally friendly and also cost effective. Bio diversity is managed with the help of this renewable sources. Experienced employees are needed to install solar panels and turbines in different places. Job opportunities for a person are also enhanced by these natural resources. Secondary data are collected for this study with the help of qualitative data analysis. Advantages and issues related to renewable resources are also helpful for this study. This creates a positive impact on financial growth and performance of a nation.
