Abstract:
A method for operating at least two floating offshore wind turbines (1) is disclosed. The wind turbines (1) are operated at respective first operating positions (7), and a previous and/or a future expected wear impact on each wind turbine (1) is estimated. At least one wind turbine (1) to be relocated to a respective second operating position (9) is identified, based on the estimated wear impact. The identified wind turbines (1) are moved to respective second operating position (9) and operated there.
