This study presents a techno-economic assessment of wind offshore energy in the Northern Aegean Sea. Different topologies are proposed, taking into account wind offshore and islands interconnections using HVDC and HVAC technology. Investment indicators are based on the expected power generated by the Weibull wind speed probability density function and the total investment cost required for wind offshore engineering. The results show that the two wind offshore farms can secure the complete electrification of the neighboring islands and supply approximately 3,379 GWh to the main consumption centers in northern and central Greece on an annual basis. A sensitivity analysis towards investment optimization has been performed, proposing different wind turbine technologies and interconnection scenarios. date: 2016-09-01 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7555518/ oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1181298 doi: 10.1109/EEEIC.2016.7555518 isbn_13: 978-1-5090-2320-2 lyricists_name: Bleischwitz, Raimund lyricists_name: Spataru, Catalina lyricists_name: Zafeiratou, Eleni lyricists_id: RBLEI92 lyricists_id: CSPAT02 lyricists_id: ZAFEI86 full_text_status: public series: International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering publication: 2016 IEEE 16TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENVIRONMENT AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (EEEIC) volume: 2016 pages: 7 event_title: IEEE 16th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC) event_location: Florence, Italy event_dates: 07 June 2016 - 10 June 2016 book_title: 2016 IEEE 16th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC) citation: Zafeiratou, E; Spataru, C; Bleischwitz, R; (2016) Wind offshore energy in the Northern Aegean Sea islanding region.
