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!
PO217: Offshore Wind Farm Decommissioning Costs: A Case Study for the Belgium Part of North Sea
Ozlem Ceyhan Yilmaz, Senior Engineer/Researcher, Sirris/Owi-lab
Abstract
Offshore wind farms decommissioning is a relatively new topic. Out of operational 34 GW of offshore wind assets in Europe, only 16.6 MW has been decommissioned so far. In the next 10 years, it is expected that almost 1GW of these assets will be decommissioned. In this study, we propose a practical and holistic approach to estimate the decommissioning costs and related logistics by using the offshore wind projects in the Belgium part of North Sea as a case study. Various decommissioning costs and logistics studies from previous projects are evaluated and further expanded to fulfill the requirements of the modelled wind farms. The approach has been implemented to all nine offshore wind farm projects in Belgium and for some generic wind farms considering the Princess Elizabeth Zone (PEZ) which is going to be tendered at the end of 2024. The results show that the overall decommissioning costs for the existing wind farms varies between 320 kEURO/MW and 720 kEURO/MW depending mainly on the type and dimensions of the assets and local decommissioning policies. The results have been compared with the ones from the literature for verification.
