The base case defines the present condition in which the total power demand of the complex is supplied by burning the associated natural gas extracted from the platform on board in its thermal power plant. The purposed scenario considers a wind farm located near Bardekhun in Bushehr province to be connected to the complex power network and shares its power generated by renewable resources with the platform. The average wind speed and the wind turbine power generation are considered to have uncertainty. Thus, Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is used to consider the uncertainties in the average wind speed and the wind turbine power generation. The purposed scenario is found obviously more beneficial with some conservative assumptions. The results show an about 30% reduction in pollution and a profit of $3 million in a year}, keywords = {oilfield,Renewable Energy,wind power,Environmental pollution,Persian Gulf}, url = {https://pbr.put.ac.ir/article_113879.html}, eprint = {https://pbr.put.ac.ir/article_113879_87c57b2d14df7175242159eed005db0b.pdf} }
