%X This research aims to
expose deployment challenges of offshore renewable energy systems in developing
countries. The investigation of the deployment model covers climate conditions,
economic conditions, necessary infrastructure services and wind power by
considering the case of Cyprus Island which is one of the Small Island
Developing States (SIDS) countries. The convenience of Offshore Energy Systems
to the territory and their systematic proper work is an important issue.
Because of that, the setting up of Offshore Wind Energy Tribunes in Cyprus, the
planning process, structuring of cost values and necessary resources, the
investigation of the geographic conditions for obtaining the energy flow and
assessment of these conditions for Offshore Wind Tribunes are the prime
objectives of this study. The orientation period and the applicable
qualifications of the offshore energy systems were evaluated on the basis of
the world wide references. The study is concluded by the estimation of the
advantages and disadvantages of the system for Cyprus.
