This thesis project aims to conduct a critical assessment of the materials used for the construction of offshore wind farm floaters and evaluate the suitability of Greek ports for the development of an offshore wind project. The rapid growth of offshore wind energy has led to an increased demand for reliable and costeffective floating structures capable of withstanding harsh marine conditions. The study will begin with a comprehensive literature review to gather relevant information on the various materials currently utilized in the construction of offshore wind farm floaters. The review will focus on the mechanical properties, durability, corrosion resistance, and environmental impact of these materials. By critically evaluating their strengths and weaknesses, the study will provide insights into selecting the most appropriate materials for floaters in the Greek offshore wind context. Furthermore, the project will assess the suitability of Greek ports for the development of offshore wind projects. Factors such as water depth, accessibility, existing infrastructure, and logistical considerations will be examined. The research methodology will involve a combination of desk research and data analysis for Greek ports. The collected data will be analyzed using appropriate quantitative and qualitative techniques to provide a comprehensive assessment of the material suitability and port feasibility.
The expected outcome of this project is to provide valuable insights and recommendations for the selection of materials in the construction of offshore wind farm floaters and to identify the most suitable Greek ports for the development of offshore wind projects. The findings will contribute to the advancement of offshore wind technology in Greece and support the country's renewable energy goals.
