Short summary
Starting from existing offshore projects in the Mediterranean Sea, we utilized the CERRA (Copernicus European Regional Reanalysis) dataset to analyze historical wind data and applied a genetic algorithm to propose a preliminary layout for a large number of farms. A significant part of our study involves the use of Monte Carlo simulations to project future energy scenarios. These simulations consider various factors, including technical challenges, wind patterns, turbine characteristics, and array efficiency affected by wake effects.
