Offshore Wind Farms
This special issue belongs to the section "Ocean Engineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Offshore wind power is one of the renewable energy sources that is currently considered in the energy mix of some countries, and its use will increase in the future. At the end of 2017, there were a total of 18,814 MW of offshore wind installed worldwide, with the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Denmark and the Netherlands leading the way. The aim of this Special Issue is to put together papers that reflect the current state of the art of the offshore wind industry, covering all the aspects to be taken into account for the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance and dismantling of the facilities, etc.
This Special Issue invites contributions that deal with all the previously mentioned aspects (but is not limited to them), including the following topics: legislation, environmental, wind resources, foundations and support structures, wind turbine generators, electrical connection, etc.
