“…Similarly, a review of the most remarkable artificial intelligence techniques employed in wind turbine monitoring systems was introduced by [15]. Other studies like [16] proposed the application of a method of multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) for designing cable routes of a floating wind farm. A geographical information system (GIS) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) application were developed by [17] to determine the suitable areas for offshore wind farms in Hong Kong.…”

Climate change has highlighted the need to promote renewable energies. The offshore wind industry is growing exponentially because of some political strategies supported by various organizations, such as the European Union. The implementation of these strategies is commonly associated with significant investments, public acceptance, or achieving better installations and greater cumulative capacities. To ensure that offshore renewable energy projects could reach their ambitious targets, this study promotes the implementation of political strategies or planning decisions using data mining techniques and analytical tools. Strategic decisions based on real data analysis could help to achieve more suitable and optimal infrastructures. The scour phenomenon jeopardizes the operability of offshore wind farms, making it necessary to study its evolution over the years. In this work, extensive research on the scour phenomenon in offshore wind farms using real data (from the Lynn and Inner Dowsing offshore wind farms located in the UK) was performed, which revealed an evident lack of consideration of this phenomenon for data-driven decision-making processes. As a novelty, this research develops a detailed geospatial analysis of data, studying the possible autocorrelation of scour data measured from each turbine between 2011 and 2015. The conclusions obtained could be used to improve future planning tasks in offshore wind farms.

An approach is developed for floating wind farm installation by creating a model that allows the planning of the main logistics and installation aspects of a floating wind farm. The method aims to preserve the coherency between logistic methods and project performance, as floating wind farm installation is a complex problem, due to the number of components that impose specific constraints in areas such as transportation and manufacturing. The planning tool is developed based on the knowledge about how to use the various approaches and on the analysis of different logistical solutions. A techno-economic view of the logistics and installation involved in the floating wind farm design is the main objective of this study. A case study for the CENTEC TLP concept implemented in Spanish and Irish waters is performed. Case study findings reveal the major aspects that affect the design and logistics factors. The tool is developed for the main types of floating wind platforms and is applicable for the preliminary design of wind farms worldwide. The tool suggests a strategy of design and logistic aspects dependent on a few inputs such as the number of components for installation, distances and the maximum number of turbines. These findings are especially important for the new floating wind farms being positioned further offshore.
