Foundations for offshore wind turbines
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003 An important engineering challenge of today, and a vital one for the future, is to develop and harvest alternative sources of energy. This is a firm priority in the UK, with the government setting a target of 10% of electricity from renewable sources by 2010.

Discussions on the Main Electrical Wiring Scheme for a 400 MW Offshore Substation Station
南方能源建设, 2019 [Introduction] Offshore wind farms are characterized by long distance from shore, high costs of repair due to vessels involved and weather, long maintenance cycles and the fact that daily operations and maintenance is highly dependent on weather and sea ...

Swell impacts on an offshore wind farm in stable boundary layer: wake flow and energy budget analysis [PDF]
Wind Energy ScienceWe investigate the impact of swell on wind turbine wakes and the power output of offshore wind farms under stable atmospheric conditions. We conduct large-eddy simulations, and the influence of swell is modeled by incorporating a wave-induced stress term

The 3 km Norwegian reanalysis (NORA3) – a validation of offshore wind resources in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2021 We validate a new high-resolution (3 km) numerical mesoscale weather simulation for offshore wind power purposes for the time period 2004–2016 for the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. The 3 km Norwegian reanalysis (NORA3) is a dynamically downscaled data

The economics of offshore wind [PDF]
Energy Policy, 2011 Abstract This paper presents an overview of the main issues associated with the economics of offshore wind. Investment in offshore wind systems has been growing rapidly throughout Europe, and the technology will be essential in meeting EU targets for renewable energy in 2020. Offshore wind suffers from high installation and connection costs, however,
