This report introduces the E^c simulator, which is capable of assessing the economics and sustainability of a floating offshore wind farm concept in a holistic fashion. Covering various development phases from design to decommissioning, the E^c simulator streamlines the process of setting up the models and calculations necessary for a concept analysis. This report overviews the core functionality of the modules within the E^c simulator, before demonstrating the outputs it can produce using a baseline case study. This focuses on showing how varying parameters such as site location influence the key performance indicators (i.e., costs, carbon emissions, and energy invested, electricity generation) of a wind farm concept.
