Current Projects
The research project utilizes various quantitative and optimization methods to demonstrate how offshore wind farms' spatial planning could be vulnerable to extreme weather events driven by climate change. This is achieved by combining existing siting research, which incorporates social, environmental, and economic criteria, along with financial feasibility assessments, with predictions regarding the likelihood of future extreme weather events. By doing so, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of wind energy production in the coming years.
