Combined AHP-GIS methodology for floating offshore wind site selection in South Africa (2024)
Journal Article
Umoh, K., Hasan, A., & Kenjegaliev, A. (2025). Combined AHP-GIS methodology for floating offshore wind site selection in South Africa. Ocean engineering, 317, Article 120037. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2024.120037

A sustainable approach to site selection can enhance the techno-economic feasibility of floating wind projects. This is because site selection is a multicriteria problem including technical, environmental, social, and economic factors. The issue is m...
