Consolidation of offshore wind farms and channel infrastructure in Finnish coastal waters
The volume of wind power construction has accelerated in Finland over the past few years. The construction has been concentrated in Finland on land and onshore, but there is growing interest in of offshore wind farms. The Finnish Transport Agency is responsible for most of Finland's channels and their maintenance and development needs. Marine circumstances and waterborne infrastructure differs significantly from land area circumstances and infrastructure as well as requirements of authorities, which set challenges to offshore wind farm developers who are not aware of maritime aspects or needs. At present the Finnish Transport Agency has only a limited guide for offshore wind farms. The guidelines of the Finnish Transport Agency have been based mainly on its own assessment of projects and partly on international guidelines for offshore wind farms. The aim of this thesis is to provide information about the Finnish Transport Agency's regulations concerning the building of an offshore wind farm in the vicinity of channels, aids to navigation and maritime radars. Sea connections are remarkably important for Finland and its economy, therefore the basis for requirements and guidance given by the Finnish Transport Agency should ensure that a current risk level of waterborne traffic will not increase because of new offshore wind turbine structures in the vicinity of channels, AtoNs or in maritime radar surveillance areas. Attention must also be paid to the potential development of a channel in the future. This thesis is intended to serve as a detailed set of guidelines for the Finnish Transport Agency itself, but also for other waterway managers and wind farm developers. This thesis examines also simulation technology and its possibilities during the planning phase of an offshore wind farm. An in-depth study and the availability of the applicable information at the beginning of the planning process can also reduce potential conflicts in the consolidation process of channel infrastructure and offshore wind farms. ...
