Abstract

In scientific literature, profitability analyses of on-and offshore wind energy projects and assessments of general conditions for such projects usually make use of the full load hours (FLH) key figure to determine the annually generated electricity. This procedure leads to adequate results, if only the expected value of each parameter is taken into account. However, it is difficult to choose an adequate type of distribution and to define suitable distribution parameters for the FLH when project risks are considered. In this paper, a multi factor model using the more basic parameter of the average wind speed and a Weibull distribution is provided. This approach is integrated into a discounted cash flow (DCF) model on which a Monte Carlo simulation is applied. Finally, a case study for an offshore wind park in the German North Sea is conducted. It is shown that the application of the presented approach leads to more precise distributions of the outcomes than the standard analysis with FLH.
