Floating Offshore Wind Farms

Beschreibung

This book provides an overview of floating offshore wind farms and focuses on the economic aspects of this renewable-energy technology. It presents economic maps demonstrating the main costs, and explores various important aspects of floating offshore wind farms. It examines topics including offshore wind turbines, floating offshore wind platforms, mooring and anchoring, as well as offshore electrical systems. It is a particularly useful resource in light of the fact that most water masses are deep and therefore not suitable for fixed offshore wind farms. A valuable reference work for students and researchers interested in naval and ocean engineering and economics, this book provides a new perspective on floating offshore wind farms, and makes a useful contribution to the existing literature.

“This new book … explores the safe and economical extension of this technology far into the ocean, which is believed to be a major source of renewable energy. … a number of valuable references are presented for those who may require further, relevant material on the subject. This title is an excellent reference for research on wind power and a valuable tool for a course on renewable energy. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals and practitioners.” (J. Tavakoli, Choice, Vol. 54 (2), October, 2016)
