Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO082: A novel methodology for the estimation of offshore wind potential in the Mediterranean Sea
Alberto Ghigo, PhD Student, Politecnico di Torino
Abstract
To encourage the development of offshore wind and to identify the most promising maritime areas suitable for offshore wind installations, it is essential to resort to versatile and intuitive tools that, in addition to the wind availability, can assess constraints of different types, like the presence of maritime routes, fishing areas, protected natural areas, oil fields and military areas. This study applies a methodology to estimate the technical potential for floating offshore wind in the Mediterranean Sea by optimizing wind farm design and spacing, turbine selection, floating platforms, and the electrical grid connections. The proposed methodology, based on several datasets including the wind resource, the floating technologies and the constraints, involves the identification of free maritime areas, not subject to environmental restrictions and maritime activities. Then, by the definition of a wind farm layout, the method involves the calculation of the Annual Energy Production, taking into account aerodynamic losses, estimated using the Jensen model, and electrical losses. In this way, it is possible to identify the most promising maritime areas for offshore wind exploitation in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as estimate the offshore wind potential.
