Optimization problems in offshore wind farms

Wind farms provide free and sustainable electricity, hence they play a central role in the green transition. The talk will show examples
of how Decision Science has contributed to significantly bring down costs of green energy. We study the five phases of the life cycle: Area Selection, Wind farm design, Installation of a wind farm, Operations and maintenance, and End of life. We focus on the most interesting optimization models and solution methods, to give the reader an introduction to this exciting and growing research area. Several examples from our collaboration with Vattenfall will be shown to illustrate the impact of Decision Science.
