Question about

1.5 square fields - what does that mean?

In calculating the floating wind area, the case solution shows:

20,000 squared fields (half) + 40,000 squared fields (one) = 60,000km^2

I'm not sure I understand how these numbers were derived - please explain?

Hi Snehit,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

In the second exhibit, it shows in the bottom right corner that one square field is 200km x 200km = 40,000km^2. Therefore, 1.5 square fields are 40,000km^2 x 1.5 = 60,000km^2.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi Snehit,

One square field in the exhibit measures 200x200 km, thus 40,000 km². The estimate in this case is that the total area for floating wind is 1.5 square fields, therefore 40,000 + 20,000 = 60,000 km².

I hope, that I could help you.

Kind regards

Benjamin
