Abstract

The purpose of this study is to introduce in detail an universal methodology of wind resource and energy yield assessment for feasibility studies of offshore wind projects. To conduct a preliminary feasibility study for offshore wind projects, an assessment of wind resources and energy yield are usually performed at an early stage, and this can be an essential process for deriving an economic feasibility evaluation of the project. However, many domestic case studies and preliminary feasibility studies are still conducted using methodologies that lack valid evidence and professionalism. Accordingly, this study introduces methods for general wind resource assessments, wind farm layout (design), and energy yield assessments, and gives detailed reasons why the analysis procedure is necessary. In other words, it was carried out to support to improve the quality and level of basic research related to domestic offshore wind studies.
