Proposal for a framework for the implementation of offshore wind farms

This work proposes a comprehensive systematic for the selection of sites for the implementation of offshore wind farms in Brazil, focusing on the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the continental shelf. Through a literature review and methodological exploration, highlighting the regulatory challenges associated with this form of renewable energy. Based on an expert interview and literature review, the main technical, economic, environmental and social criteria considered in the selection of sites for wind farms were identified and analyzed. The proposed framework was structured in phases, from obtaining preliminary data to the concession of the public asset and issuing the necessary licenses for the installation of the parks. This systematic approach aims to ensure the selection of more suitable and sustainable sites. In the end, an application using FiTradeoff was carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposal, considering offshore alternatives in Brazil.
