Abstract

Offshore wind farms promise to become an important source of energy in the near future. It is expected that within 10 years, wind parks with a total capacity of thousands of megawatts will be installed in European seas. Onshore wind energy has grown enormously over the last decade to the point where it generates more than 10% of all electricity in certain regions (such as Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein in Germany). However, due to noise and visual pollution, further expansion of onshore wind energy is limited. These problems in the development of wind energy can be resolved by the installation of wind energy farms in offshore regions, e.g. in the North Sea and in the Baltic Sea. This solution has the following advantages:
