(2022), “The technical and economic feasibility of the CENTEC floating offshore wind platform”, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Vol. 10, 1344.
This paper defines a methodology to perform the economic feasibility analysis of a floating offshore wind farm composed of Tensioned Leg Platforms, which are part of the EU ARCWIND research project. In this context, the phases and subphases of its life-cycle process are considered to deal with aspects such as bathymetry, characteristics of the platforms, distance from the farm to shore, distance from the farm to port and offshore wind speed. All the costs and other external parameters such as capital cost, electric tariff, interest rate, percentage of financing and corporate tax, have been analysed to calculate the Internal Rate of Return, Net Present Value, Discounted Pay-Back Period and Levelized Cost Of Energy of the farm. This work studies a farm composed of TLP offshore wind platforms designed by CENTEC and located at Ribadeo in Spain. Results will indicate the economic feasibility of this platform for deep waters.
