The goal is\nto develop resource-efficient and carbon-neutral technolo-\ngies that bridge the current energy landscape and a more\nsustainable future. In this context, offshore power hubs\nhave emerged as a viable solution due to their robustness\nand potential for repurposing decommissioned petroleum\nproduction vessels.\nThis study presents a mathematical model solved by a\nsimulated annealing meta-heuristics to optimise the ge-\nometry of a semi-submersible platform, enabling it to\naccommodate a gas turbine power plant on its main deck.\nResults demonstrate that the heuristic approach effectively\nhandles this design\u2019s complex and highly non-linear na-\nture within an acceptable computation time and with feasi-\nble optimal solutions. Additionally, findings suggest that\nrepurposing a decommissioned platform, rather than an\nFPSO, significantly enhances power generation capacity\ndue to its larger deck area and increased weight capacity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7148\/2025-0517","type":"proceedings-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,23]],"date-time":"2025-07-23T16:59:10Z","timestamp":1753289950000},"page":"517-523","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Simulated Annealing Approach To Power Hub Semi-Submersible Platform Design"],"prefix":"10.7148","author":[{"given":"Monica L.
