Offshore wind farms are made up of a number of wind turbines. The wind farm is situated in an area with relatively shallow water that is not too far from the coastline and where the mean wind speed is favorable. A wind turbine consists of three main components: the tower, a nacelle or...
The offshore wind market in the US is at least a decade behind the more established ones in countries like the UK and Denmark, says Walt Musial, chief engineer of offshore wind energy at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory. One open question over the next year will be how quickly ...
I am not a morning person, but as I stand on theboulder(巨大的砾石) in the early dawn, my mind is sharp and alert. I am more than awake, concentrating on the vast endlessness below. There is a noticeable lack of early birdsong here; no hiss of offshore wind fanning the waves. The...
Offshore vessels primarily serve the offshore oil and gas sector and are also engaged in offshore construction projects like offshore wind farms.

California’s offshore wind industry could be a casualty if President-elect Donald Trump makes good on his promise to sign an executive order to “end” the offshore wind industry.
First of all, let us define whatoffshore wind energyis: it isa source of clean and renewable energy obtained by harnessing the power of the wind offshore,where it reaches a higher and more constant speed due to the lack of barriers. Its high potential andstrategic added value,both at a ...
