Abstract

Floating offshore wind farms are one of the most important pillars to manage climate
change issues. Using large-scale series production methods, larger wind turbines with
extended full load hours for floating offshore installations could result in reduced levelized
costs for energy. These devices are installed in deeper water and away from shore. Due to
their distance from the shore, wind farms need offshore substations for the power storage
or conversion before sending it to the onshore grid. GICON has developed an innovative
design for High Voltage (HVAC) Offshore Substation on a TLP substructure. This thesis
mainly focuses on the development of the operational and pathway concept for the
substation topside. The operational concept defines the strategies regarding the maintenance
and operations based on the offshore standard regulations. It also involves the risk
assessment of the platform and the development of tools regarding Hazard Identification
Study (HAZID) and Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). The pathway
concept includes the development of the detailed layout of the topside, safety plan,
emergency response plan, and lifting arrangement for the electrical equipment. Special
attention has been given to the DNV GL regulations regarding offshore substations.

Abstract

Modern engineering approaches focus on the design and operation of systems and products in a way that allows for the sustainable use of resources. Sustainable engineering aims to provide frameworks that ensure development without compromising the quality of the natural environment and the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In this context, decision making processes must be enriched by approaches and tools that allow decision makers to consider a wide range of sustainable options. Recently, great progress has been taking place in the fields of operation research and management science, where intelligent quantitative analysis, statistics, and prediction analytics are employed in a variety of interdisciplinary research areas, aiming to assist policy makers and managers with the consideration of a variety of sustainable options. This Special Issue consists of a 17-paper collection with published approaches and models that are designed to give answers for environmental impact and sustainability assessment, risk and knowledge management assessment, lifecycle assessment and energy management. Five papers are dedicated to advances in different literature review topics. The remaining papers deal with a variety of engineering approaches to address decision making which involves: mulricriteria decision analysis, ecological footprint and biocapacity estimations, fuzzy prediction models, advanced statistical analysis, simulation, systems dynamics model, task ontology and integration definition function modeling.

Abstract

Metalliferous minerals play a central role in the global economy. They will continue to provide the raw materials we need for industrial processes. Significant challenges will likely emerge if the climate-driven green and low-carbon development transition of metalliferous mineral exploitation is not managed responsibly and sustainably. Green low-carbon technology is vital to promote the development of metalliferous mineral resources shifting from extensive and destructive mining to clean and energy-saving mining in future decades. Global mining scientists and engineers have conducted a lot of research in related fields, such as green mining, ecological mining, energy-saving mining, and mining solid waste recycling, and have achieved a great deal of innovative progress and achievements. This Special Issue intends to collect the latest developments in the green low-carbon mining field, written by well-known researchers who have contributed to the innovation of new technologies, process optimization methods, or energy-saving techniques in metalliferous minerals development.
