Description
Summary:Offshore wind energy has become a prominent contender in the global landscape of renewable energy generation. The increase in its penetration can be attributed to various factors, including the implementation of supportive energy policies, heightened environmental awareness, and remarkable technological progress. In this context, the paper aims to evaluate the wind potential in the southern region of Brazil based on a technical-financial analysis of an offshore wind farm project. The applied methodology is supported by a survey of wind data for the region, including the selection of wind turbine models and the estimation of the project costs, such as the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX). The study is focused on the evaluation of different energy transmission technologies. The assessment reinforces that the region has significant potential for energy production. The methodology can serve as a basis for implementing future projects.
