Wind power has been the fastest growing industry in the world over the last decade and most wind energy is produced onshore. However, a number of challenges have arisen that make continued onshore wind power deployment more difficult. This has opened the door for offshore wind power development. Offshore wind turbines take advantage of wind speeds which are more constant and stronger than those on land. Larger turbines are used, which translates into greater energy production. Since many large load centers are located near coasts, turbines can be installed closer to load, decreasing transmission losses and reducing congestion. The placement of turbines over-the-horizon and undersea transmission lines eliminate many of the aesthetic concerns that are common with onshore turbines. The Commercialization of Offshore Wind Power aims to provide the reader with an understanding of the market potential for offshore wind, the challenges that must be overcome in deploying this technology, and current development of offshore wind projects. Topics covered in the report include: - Overview of wind power including its modern history - Discussion of how offshore differs from onshore wind power - Analysis of the development of offshore wind power - Evaluation of the market potential for offshore wind power - Description of offshore wind power technology including differences with onshore technology and developments needed to improve offshore technology - Analysis of the economics of offshore wind power including a comparison to onshore costs - Evaluation of the challenges to implementing offshore wind power - Description of the permitting process for offshore wind in both the U.S. and Europe - Description of economic incentives available for offshore wind in both the U.S. and Europe - Profiles of major offshore wind projects in commercial operation or under development - Profiles of major offshore wind project developers and turbine manufacturers Customers who bought this item also bought Analyzing the Potential of Offshore Wind Energy Analyzing the Global Offshore Wind Power Industry The Future of U.S. Offshore Wind Power Offshore Wind Power Market Potential Analyzing Offshore Wind Energy in the United States Offshore Wind Power Wind Power Ed 5 Report Wind Turbine Opportunities and Outlook US Wind Power Markets and Strategies, 2007-2015 Analyzing the Global Wind Energy Industry The World Offshore Wind Report 2008-2012 Analyzing the North American Wind Power Industry
