Abstract
The development of large wind farms is seen as a part of the solution to lowering global carbon emissions through bulk renewable energy generation, and in Europe many wind farms have mainly been constructed offshore where wind and land resources are advantageous compared to onshore sites. Whether onshore or offshore, lowering the cost of production is driving the industry to build wind farms with more turbines each capable of generating more power [1]–[4]. In the UK, the Offshore Windfarm Accelerator, a collaborative R&D program led by the Carbon Trust, is aiming to reduce the cost of wind generation by 10% through a combination of technological advances.
