Abstract
Strategies for cost reduction in the wind offshore industry: The desire for cost reduction and optimisation of the design of offshore structures supporting wind turbines has to follow the requirement to identify, define and formulate all relevant boundary constraints driving the holistic cost of a design. This paper aims not to just summarize key cost drivers, but also shows examples with real cost saving potential at different stages (design, fabrication, construction, installation) during the development of a wind farm. In order to formulate an optimisation algorithm, the complex context the industry is operating in needs to be understood. However this may be a step to far. The complexity of unknown factors in an emerging and growing wind offshore industry will demonstrate that alongside to computational optimisation and academic problem formulation of individual sub tasks, what will be needed is human intuition, vision, innovation, engineering judgment and the masterminds which influence the outcome of their endeavour in a positive way. Firstly, an overview of cost categories is given ranging from material cost to finance cost. Secondly examples of risks and design obstacles are mapped, both in order to present the backdrop in front of which various strategies for delivery can be chosen.Examples of structural optimisation taking into account some of the key cost drivers are presented at the heart of the paper, showing how different boundary constraints and design approaches will lead to different design solutions. Further the influence of the choice of risk profiles and the impact on the design with a view of the different project phases is shown. Consequentially the authors attempt to develop new strategies based thereon.
