Offshore Wind : Powering the Future of Clean Energy
Offshore wind refers to the generation of electricity from wind turbines located in bodies of water, typically in coastal areas or in the open sea. This form of renewable energy harnesses the power of strong and consistent offshore winds to generate clean and sustainable electricity. Offshore wind farms consist of multiple wind turbines that are strategically placed in the water, either fixed to the seabed or floating. These turbines are much larger than their onshore counterparts, with rotor diameters often exceeding 100 meters. The turbines are designed to capture the energy from the wind, which turns the rotor blades and generates electricity through a generator housed within the turbine. The offshore wind sector has seen significant growth in recent years due to various factors. One key advantage of offshore wind is the availability of stronger and more consistent winds compared to onshore locations. This allows for higher energy generation and increased efficiency. Add...
