Abstract

This work presents a prototype of a decision-support system for Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) construction based on the Timed Petri-Nets (TPN) approach, which aims to help the decision-maker in the industry to optimize the process execution. The objective function evaluates the solutions or alternatives to find the optimums. We also present a decoupled scheduling strategy that is computationally efficient and stable comparing to the Mixed-Integer Linear Programming method, which is mathematically exact. Nonetheless, the decision-support system also supports the case, in which multiple agents or installation vessels are used in the projects. The numerical study reveals the relation between the process acceleration and charter cost by using two installation vessels. Last, historical data are used for the weather predictions.
