OPIN Masterclass: OPEX modelling for marine renewable energy technologies and projects
This Masterclass will demonstrate different approaches, models and philosophies to estimate OPEX for offshore technologies. This session aims to compare the advantages and downsides of different approaches, especially with an emphasis on different stages of technical development.
This masterclass will focus on:
- Introducing different approaches to model operational cost
- Quantifying differences between different modelling approaches
- Discussing suitability of different approaches for different development stages
- Introducing a combined floating wind and wave energy O&M model
- Integrating operational cost in techno-economic models and uncertainty analysis
Agenda:
Introduction to webinar and the OPIN project by Simon Stark - Dutch Marine Energy Centre (10 – 10:15)
Benefits of detailed O&M models to quantify investment KPIs by Anna Garcia-Teruel – The University of Edinburgh (10:15 – 10:40)
A developers perspective on O&M models for devices and projects by Nis Ebsen – Floating Power Plant (10:40 – 11:00)
A combined floating wind and wave energy O&M model by Anthony Gray – Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (11:00 – 11:25)
Relevance of OPEX estimates in project modelling and uncertainty analysis by Annicka Wann – Exceedence Ltd. (11:25 – 11:40)
Final Q&A (11:40 – 12:00)
