Worldwide, there is a significant amount of offshore wind energy production, however, wind energy production in the United States lags behind Europe and Asia. A majority of energy demand in the United States lies in its coastal regions, which provide great opportunity for offshore wind energy development. In this course, we will review the electric generation potential for offshore wind turbines. Wind energy resources, detailed descriptions of wind energy turbines, and the types of foundations used for offshore wind energy turbines will be addressed.
We will also consider the coastal areas with the greatest potential for offshore wind energy by considering factors such as water depth and wind speed. Environmental concerns and cost considerations will also be covered.
