Offshore Wind Energy Cost Modeling - Installation and Decommissioning (Green Energy and Technology)(Springer, 2012).pdf

ISBN 978-1-4471-2487-0

Offshore wind energy is one of the most promising and fastest growing alternative energy sources in the world. "Offshore Wind Energy Cost Modeling "provides a methodological framework to assess installation and decommissioning costs, and using examples from the European experience, provides a broad review of existing processes and systems used in the offshore wind industry.

"Offshore Wind Energy Cost Modeling" provides a step-by-step guide to modeling costs over four sections. These sections cover:

.Background and introductory material,

.Installation processes and vessel requirements,

.Installation cost estimation, and

.Decommissioning methods and cost estimation.

This self-contained and detailed treatment of the key principles in offshore wind development is supported throughout by visual aids and data tables. "Offshore Wind Energy Cost Modeling "is a key resource for anyone interested in the offshore wind industry, particularly those interested in the technical and economic aspects of installation and decommissioning. The book provides a reliable point of reference for industry practitioners and policy makers developing generalizable installation or decommissioning cost estimates
