2017

  • > December 16, 2017: Logistics is an important part of the value chain in emerging markets according to our newly published case on China offshore wind. We compare and contrast the national policy level and also outline a gap analysis at the industry level. Available for free download here: Here
  •  
  • > April 2, 2017: New research just out on O&M Logistics. This latest journal article just out and it deals with our 20-month case study on offshore wind logistics for the O&M life-cycle phase. In addition, we have performed a desktop analysis of 11 government-sponsored cost studies dealing with LCoE. The key finding is that OpEx varies by a factor 9.5x and that the O&M set-up may make or break offshore wind farm profitability!. Here

2014

  • > Changing business models and strategies in global wind energy shipping, logistics, and SCM
  • Presented at the 5th Annual Conference of The European Decision Sciences Institute in July 2014, this paper reviews different wind energy markets globally, based on extensive case study work performed since 2009. Subsequently, a number of supply chain set-ups serviced by the shipping, logistics, and supply chain management industry are reviewed and finally, winning business models and strategies of current and emerging supply chain constituencies competing in the wind energy marketplace are discussed. Here.

 

2013

  • > Global Wind Turbine Shipping & Logistics - A Research Area of the Future?
    Presented at the 2013 International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems in Singapore, this paper investigates shipping and logistics challenges of the rapidly growing wind turbine industry using an end-to-end supply chain perspective. It presents results of an exploratory study including 200+ interviews, site and conference visits conducted over 2+ years, to uncover current/future shipping and logistics challenges of this particular industry.
