摘要: Investment and view damage costs are important determinants in siting locations for offshore wind farms (OWF) the Lake Michigan region. This study is limited to state boundary OWF sites viewshed impacts. cost depends on depth distance shore of farm. View household density consumer willingness pay avoid visual disamenity turbines. Both these dependent geographic location summed create an aggregate cost. Using ArcGIS, were mapped, with spatial analysis revealing northern region lake at minimum The contributes most 68%, but average 7%, levelized energy (LCOE) ranges from 183 368 $/MWh (average 256 $/MWh). LCOE contribution 3% 46% most. impact dominating factor only around a small shoreline (due large impacted populations). A series maps presented that highlight investment tradeoffs which can inform Michigan.
