Floating offshore wind power is a relatively new technology that enables wind turbines to float above the sea level, tied by anchors at the seabed. The purpose of this work is to develop an economic model for the technology in order to calculate the total cost of a planned wind farm. Cost data are retrieved from reports and academic journals available online. Based on these data, a model in Microsoft Excel is developed which calculates the Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for floating wind power plants as a function of several input values. As an addition to this model, financing offshore projects are described using literature study and by doing interviews with three major companies, currently investing in offshore wind. As a result, the model allows the user to calculate Capital expenditures, Operating expenditures and LCOE for projects at any given size and at any given site. The current LCOE for a large floating offshore wind farm is indicated to be in the range of 138-147 £/MWh. The outline from interviews was that today there is no shortage of capital for funding wind projects. However, in order to attract capital, the governmental regulatory of that market has to be suitable since it has a crucial impact on price risks of a project.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to characterize the process of investment calculations at Bosch Diesel company and to compare Bosch Diesel s effectiveness of investment evaluation methodology with the methodology recommended in teaching literature.

El presente estudio tiene como principal objetivo determinar el impacto del uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TICS) en el rendimiento académico universitario, medido como el promedio ponderado como variable categórica. Para este estudio se han comprendido dos períodos de evaluación. El primero de ellos es un ciclo académico completamente presencial; mientras que, el segundo es completamente virtual. Esto, debido a la coyuntura del momento de la evaluación de la investigación. En específico, debido a las medidas de aislamiento social para la no propagación del COVID – 19. Asimismo, teniendo en cuenta la revisión de la literatura empírica, la presente investigación también tiene como objetivo evaluar posibles diferencias de género en el impacto del uso de las TICS en el rendimiento académico universitario. Con respecto a la data que se ha empleado, se elaboró una encuesta piloto, la cual fue suministrada a la Facultad de Economía de una universidad peruana, junto con un consentimiento informado del estudio. Por el lado de la alternativa metodológica, se ha optado por un modelo Logit Multinomial Ordenado, debido a la característica de la variable de dependiente de interés. Es decir, si la variable dependiente adopta una categoría más alta, promedio ponderado superior, el rendimiento académico también es mayor. En cuanto a las variables explicativas del estudio, se han considerado al género, características propias del estudiante, factores sociofamiliares, variables asociadas al uso de TICS y la motivación asociada al uso de TICS. Finalmente, los resultados reflejan que existe un impacto positivo en el rendimiento académico universitario, durante la transición de un ciclo completamente presencial a uno virtualizado. Esto se debe a que las variables asociadas a las TICS, son las que mejor explican la mejora en el output académico. No obstante, los resultados también reflejan que no existen diferencias de género en el impacto del uso de las TICS en el rendimiento académico universitario. / The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on university academic performance, measured as the weighted average as a categorical variable. For this study, two evaluation periods have been included. The first is a completely face-to-face academic cycle; while the second is completely virtual. This, due to the juncture of the time of evaluation of the research. Specifically, due to the measures of social isolation for the non-propagation of the COVID - 19. Likewise, taking into account the review of the empirical literature, this research also aims to assess possible gender differences in the impact of the use of ICTs on university academic performance. With respect to the data used, a pilot survey was developed and provided to the Faculty of Economics of a Peruvian university, along with an informed consent of the study. As for the methodological alternative, an Ordered Multinomial Logit model was chosen, due to the characteristic of the dependent variable of interest. That is, if the dependent variable adopts a higher category, higher weighted average, academic performance is also higher. As for the explanatory variables of the study, gender, student characteristics, social and family factors, variables associated with the use of ICTs and the motivation associated with the use of ICTs have been considered. Finally, the results reflect that there is a positive impact on university academic performance, during the transition from a completely presential cycle to a virtualized one. This is due to the fact that the variables associated with ICTs are the ones that best explain the improvement in academic output. However, the results also reflect that there are no gender differences in the impact of the use of ICTs on university academic performance. / Trabajo de investigación
