In regard of accelerating climate change and anomalies the offshore power industry may have to re-estimate its performance and global resources.
What is the meaning to throw investments and to spoil resources for something which may simply disappear?
Here are some hints:
1. The Destruction Factor (DF) is availability of offshore energy harvesting structures to sustain to severe weather conditions and challenges of climate change.
DF= H (max) X S (max)
Where H (max) is maximum height of waves before destruction
S (max) is maximum speed of wind before destruction.
2. The Availability factor (AF) is the boundary where production of offshore energy cuts.
AF= H (cut) X S (cut)
Where H (cut) is maximum height of waves before production cuts
S (cut) is maximum speed of wind before production cuts.
3. There is one more sustainability factor related to exploring the offshore energy sources – preparedness of staff e.g. what physical, mental and psychic loads have to sustain the staff in charge of development, production, erection and run of offshore energy sources?
