FowApp – Floating Offshore Wind App

LCOE Levelized Cost of Energy

FowApp allows the measurement of relevant parameters for the life cycle assessment of floating wind farms, without requiring any additional tools. It is a simple and easy-to-use software that can be configured with variable levels of input details, built specifically for the floating wind industry. It works with a high level of detail, retrieving different valuable metrics for the whole life cycle of the project.

LCA details

FowApp provides detailed metrics regarding the following parameters of floating wind farms:

  • AEP: Annual Energy Production
  • LCC: Life-Cycle Costs
  • LCOE: Levelized Cost Of Energy
  • LCA: Life-Cycle Assessment

Therefore, it is a helpful tool for early project development, technology assessment, environmental impact evaluation and performance analysis.
