Safety and Reliability of Offshore Renewable Energies delves into the crucial aspects of risk and reliability, ensuring asset durability and long-term performance while fostering safe operations in the challenging offshore renewable energy systems context. The book starts with an overview of offshore renewable energy systems, followed by a detailed examination of regulatory standards for safety and reliability, environmental impacts, risk assessment and management, human factors, safety culture, infrastructure optimization, asset management, maintenance, and decommissioning. The book further explores reliability and safety in specific areas such as wind farms, offshore hydrogen, wave and tidal energy, and floating PV systems.
It also addresses safety and risk in multi-purpose and co-located offshore facilities, bridging the gap between industry and academia. This comprehensive resource is invaluable for researchers, students, engineers, consultants, industry professionals, and policy makers involved in offshore renewable energy.
