Optimal Location Recommendation System for Offshore Floating Wind Power Plant Using Big Data Analysis

Abstract

The necessity of offshore wind power plants has emerged due to the issues involving low-frequency sound or noise-related health problems, socio-economic or environmental problems. It is not easy to determine the optimal location for the wind power plants: First, as we can see from the overseas cases, the safety must be considered first followed by economic and environmental problems. Since these plants should not become an obstacle for traffic emergencies, they should not be constructed in the vicinity of a civil or military airport and at the same time, the existence of any nearby fish farms should be checked as well as the plants might largely affect their economy. Thus, this study attempts to provide the most efficient and preferable service by identifying and informatizing the issues related to the changes in the navigation routes of vessels or the condition of individual fish farms based on the big data accumulated over 30 years and realistic simulations. In conclusion, this study aims to find the optimal location for an offshore floating wind power plant.
