Özet
The escalating impact of global warming, primarily exacerbated by carbon emissions from conventional energy sources, has prompted significant advancements in offshore wind energy as a pivotal avenue for sustainable development. Amid the surging interest in renewable energy, offshore wind-farms have emerged as a promising solution. To ensure their efficient and effective operation, it becomes imperative to systematically identify and mitigate potential risks. This study addresses the critical need to systematically prioritize risk reduction strategies for offshore wind farms, a problem that has not been comprehensively explored in the literature. A multi-criteria analysis has been adopted to simultaneously evaluate the contradictory criteria in the evaluation process. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of spherical fuzzy sets with multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques to handle uncertainties and evaluate contradictory criteria simultaneously. As a result of all this analysis, the most critical risks for offshore wind-farms and risk mitigation strategies that can be adopted within the determined risks have been revealed. The main findings reveal that turbine underperformance, disruption of habitats, and grid connection issues are the most critical risks. Furthermore, a combination of robust design and engineering and collaboration and partnerships emerged as the most effective risk mitigation strategies. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
