The new capacity totals 1,483.3 MW - 5.34% less than in 2013; • 536 turbines were erected during 2014, an average of 5.9 MW per day. 373 of these turbines are awaiting grid connection; • Work is on-going on 12 projects. Cumulative offshore wind • 2,488 turbines are now installed and grid connected, making a cumulative to- power market tal of 8,045.3 MW in 74 wind farms in 11 European countries; • 78.8% of substructures are monopiles, 10.4% are gravity foundations, jack- ets account for 4.7%, tripods account for 4.1%, and tripiles account for 1.9%; • There are also two full-scale grid-connected floating turbines. Market outlook for 2015 • Once completed, the 12 offshore projects currently under construction will and 2016 increase installed capacity by a further 2.9 GW, bringing the cumulative capacity in Europe to 10.9 GW. Trends: • The average offshore wind turbine size was 3.7 MW, slightly less than in turbines, foundations, 2013 due to the increased proportion of installation of the Siemens 3.6 MW water depth and distance wind turbines; to shore • The average size of a grid-connected offshore wind farm in 2014 was 368 MW, 24.1% less than the previous year. This is the result of the 2013 completion of the record breaking London Array (630 MW); • The average water depth of wind farms completed, or partially completed, in 2014 was 22.4 metres (m) and the average distance to shore was 32.9 km. Financing highlights and • Project finance is increasingly becoming an important tool in financing developments offshore wind. The industry raised €3.14 billion of non-recourse debt in 2014 – the highest ever level reached in the industry; • Nearly half of the final investment decisions made in 2014 were billion-euro projects, in total 2,323 MW of new gross capacity was financed; • Partnerships are becoming a key to success, and as liquidity is back in the financial markets, developers will be more likely to align their interests with those of potential investors.

One area being explored in an effort to lower Wind farm designers have considered the value of the LCOE of offshore wind generation is the optimization of the minimizing wake effects, as the rows and columns of wind wind farm layout. Many of the offshore wind farm layout designs that exist today are structured in a rectilinear form where turbines farms are often oriented into an optimal direction based on the are spaced evenly along columns and rows. This thesis explores the local wind climate. However, the inconsistent nature of economic advantages of removing rectilinear constraints and environmental factors such as the local wind climate, optimizing the positions of the individual turbines within an bathymetry, and soil types would conclude that these are not offshore wind farm. driving factors in the structured layouts.

Operation & Maintenance (O&M) makes up a significant part of the overall cost of running offshore wind turbines. The complication of O&M lies in that its responsibility has been split between turbine manufacturers, wind farm operators and the offshore transmission owners.
