Addressing Uncertainty Through Techno-Economic Modelling
Floating offshore wind must continue to reduce costs while managing significant uncertainties, especially in heavy maintenance. Gaining real-world operational experience is crucial to close knowledge gaps and enhance maintenance strategies. At the same time, techno-economic models provide powerful tools for simulating scenarios and supporting informed decision-making. In this context, this article explores heavy maintenance challenges and presents a practical example demonstrating how these models can effectively address uncertainty in floating offshore wind projects.
