Offshore Wind Energy Drawbacks
• OWFs use adapted products from other fields. • onshore wind turbines • foundations designed using oil&gas industry standards.
• Designing a large offshore wind project is a very complex task • Manual layout optimization and cable routing
• The design is based in a sequential approach. • interactions are disregarded. • early project decisions may become constraints in later stages.
Higher costs when compared to onshore projects with similar capacities!

Key Opportunities
• Larger turbines with improved reliability and lower operation costs;
• Greater activity at the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED);
• More use of geotechnical and geophysical surveying;
• Greater competition in key supply markets;
• Economies of scale and greater standardization;
• Optimization of installation methods;
• Products specifically designed for offshore wind environments;
• Mass produced deeper water support structures.

Increased need for FEED
• More complex and larger wind farm sites
• More wind turbines and more complex collection systems;
• Unexpected costs during the installation phase;
• The availability of a wider range of technology.

Framework Requirements
• Several requirements must be fulfilled: • Modularity
• Models independency. • The optimization algorithm should also be easily replaced.
• Standardization • The input/output of the models should be standard: plug&play.
• Expansibility • New models should be included in a straightforward manner.
