The Cost

Wind energy is one of the fast growing sources of renewable power production currently and there is a great demand to reduce the cost of operation and maintenance to achieve competitive energy price in the market especially for offshore wind farms. An offshore wind farm usually comprises a large number of turbines and thus needs a number of service vessels for maintenance. It is already a complicated task to plan the schedule and route for each of the vessels on a daily basis, dealing with several constraints, such as weather window and maintenance demand, at the same time. Even more challenging is to find an optimal solution. This paper propose a method, i.e. Duo Ant Colony Optimization (Duo-ACO), to improve the utilization of the maintenance resources, specifically the efficient scheduling and routing of the maintenance fleet and thus reduce the operation and maintenance (O&M) cost. The proposed metaheuristic method can help operator to avoid a time-consuming process of manually planning the scheduling and routing.
