Abstract
The purpose of this deliverable is to take a closer look at the potential energy production, installation and OPEX costs for each configuration. The deliverable uses an installation (module of the EU FP7 LEANWIND Financial model) and O&M model (ORE Logistics tool) developed in UCC and further adapted for the LiftWEC project where needed. Programmed in Matlab using Excel input and output files, these operate running Monte Carlo simulations of a scenario against a time series of Metocean data. The models average results, determining the impact of uncertain weather conditions and failure rates on the installation and OPEX costs; installation time; and device power production.
