Adaptations of Offshore Wind Operation and Maintenance Models for Floating Wind

This paper presents the key operations & maintenance (O&M) modelling inputs for fixed-bottom wind (FBW) and highlights adaptations required floating offshore (FOW) uses. The work also major repair strategies such as tow to shore (T2S) discusses limitations constraints which arise in an operational context. technical economic feasibility of O&M requires rethinking weather risks constraints, new vessel technologies costs. collates reviews existing FBW models have been adapted FOW uses analyses a operation. Findings show that there is ambiguity literature tug speeds disconnection/reconnection times turbine system. A performed case study investigates sensitives both parameters through window analysis ScotWind sites. Recommendations future practises, including additional considerations are given.
