What is offshore wind power generation?

It is a power generation method that generates electricity by installing wind turbines in open waters along coastlines and
taking the kinetic energy created by the wind’s rotation of the turbine’s blades and converting it into mechanical energy.

Advantages of Offshore Wind Power

Offshore wind power is free from location restrictions unlike onshore wind power and can be developed in large-scale complexes, which can increase efficiency.

  1. 01

    There is accessibility to more
    wind power and stronger winds in
    comparison to onshore wind power

  2. 02

    Relative freedom from
    problems such as noise or
    natural damage

  3. 03

    Conditions favorable for
    the installation of large turbines and
    the construction of large complexes
