Abstract
This paper describes the process of a conceptual design of the Wind farm service vessel. The optimization problem of the choice of principal particulars of the WFSV is formulated. For her decision, a genetic algorithm is used. A minimum of costs on repair and maintenance of wind farm is chosen as the objective function. The methodology of the optimization process such as objective function, design variables and used constraints is described. Furthermore, a mathematical model considering dimensions, powering, mass, stability, sea keeping and cost calculation is developed. Methodology of the estimation of economic efficiency, basis of what is made by the methods of statistical design, theory of probability and theory of reliability, is worked out. Software is worked out, giving an opportunity to visualize the process of functioning of the WFSV and wind farm. The methodology may be used in the conceptual design stages for selecting the main dimension of the WFSV.
