Abstract
This report contains a summary of user case scenarios and analysis from deploying COSMO – Computer tool for Optimisation and Simulation of Marine Operations on testing different technological concepts and planning strategies from a wind farm perspective. The user case scenarios have been developed in close cooperation with the NorthWind partners, and the goal is to enable partners to use COSMO to evaluate the impact of potential future concepts for improving the offshore wind competitiveness related to risk, cost and emissions. This report has been prepared as part of NorthWind (Norwegian Research Centre on Wind Energy) co-financed by the Research Council of Norway, industry and research partners.
