4C Offshore Empowering Intelligence

Offshore Wind Turbines Database And Intelligence

Search The Database

Since the first offshore wind turbines were installed in Denmark in 1991, there have been 15585 turbines installed globally. Advances in technology have resulted in 288 different models with capacity rising from 3.6 MW in 2010 to 7.8 MW in 2020. TGS | 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Turbine Database provides comprehensive data and insights on planned and current installations, turbines and generators under construction, and even cancelled projects. With ForeSEE, our marine intelligence software designed specifically for the global offshore renewable energy market, you'll be able to access and use the data you need to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving industry.

The ForeSEE software is a comprehensive suite of reports, databases and online tools for the offshore wind sector and adjacent industries. ForeSEE allows us to create our sector-specific subscriptions to help people gather intelligence to inform decisions, for example, our offshore wind farm database subscription. Sector subscriptions are fuelled by wide-reaching data and insights to help organisations make informed decisions.

Subscriptions include:

  • Sector-specific on- and offline databases
  • Reports
  • Newsletters
  • Online Tools

This enables:

  • Competitor analysis
  • Industry analysis
  • Offshore wind project pipeline opportunity discovery
  • Resource assessment

  • Contains all offshore wind turbine models
  • Detailing technology data, in-depth specification
  • Planning and installation timelines
  • Information on where different models are/will be used, including the manufacturer.

Wind Turbines and Offshore Wind Farms

Wind turbines and offshore wind parks are closely related, as wind turbines are the main components of offshore wind parks. An offshore wind park typically consists of many wind turbines installed in a specific area of the ocean to generate electricity.

The turbines in an offshore wind park work together to generate a significant amount of energy. These offshore wind generators are connected to each other and to a central hub by an underwater cable network. The central hub collects the electricity the turbines generate and sends it to shore via a subsea cable.

The turbines in an offshore wind park are strategically placed to take advantage of prevailing winds and optimise energy generation. The turbines are typically placed several hundred metres apart to avoid interference between generators and maximise energy output.

A line of wind turbines in an array

Types of Wind Turbines

There are two main types of wind turbines:

  • Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs)
  • Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs)

HAWTs are the most common type of wind turbine and have a horizontal rotor shaft, while VAWTs have a vertical rotor shaft. HAWTs are typically more efficient at generating electricity, but VAWTs are more compact and can operate in a broader range of wind conditions.

Anatomy Of An Offshore Wind Turbine

A typical offshore wind turbine consists of several components, each with its own technical specifications:

Rotor

A typical rotor has a diameter of 120-180 metres and can rotate at speeds of up to 20-25 revolutions per minute (RPM).

Blades

The length of the blades can vary depending on the turbine size, but typical offshore wind turbine blades are around 80 metres long and weigh around 30 tons each.

Nacelle

The nacelle houses the gearbox and the generator, which convert the rotational energy from the rotor into electricity. The nacelle is typically located at the top of the tower and can weigh up to 400 tons.

Tower

The tower supports the nacelle and the rotor and is designed to withstand the forces of wind and waves. Offshore wind turbine towers can range in height from 80-100 metres for fixed-bottom turbines to over 200 metres for floating turbines and floating wind generators.

Foundation

Fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines are typically anchored to the seabed with a foundation while floating wind generators are anchored using mooring lines.

Control System

The control system monitors the wind speed and direction and adjusts the pitch angle of the blades to optimise the amount of electricity generated. The control system can also shut down the turbine in high winds to prevent damage.

The technical specifications of offshore wind turbines can vary depending on the specific design and manufacturer. However, a typical offshore wind turbine may have a rated capacity of 6-12 MW, with a rotor diameter of 120-180 metres and a tower height of 80-100 metres.

Wind Turbine Data

People working in the renewable energy sector use a wide range of data related to wind turbines, including:

Energy Production

People from the renewable sector may want to know the energy production capacity of wind turbines, which can vary depending on the turbine size, design, and wind resource. This can help people assess the viability of wind energy projects and estimate the amount of energy that can be generated in a given location.

Turbine Efficiency

You may also be interested in the efficiency of wind turbines, which measures the amount of energy they can produce compared to their maximum theoretical output. Efficiency can be affected by a range of factors, including wind speed, blade design, and generator technology.

Maintenance Requirements

Wind turbines require regular maintenance to ensure they operate safely and efficiently. You may want to know the frequency and cost of maintenance tasks, such as blade inspections and gearbox replacements, to estimate the total cost of owning and operating wind turbines.

Environmental Impact

Experts may also be interested in the environmental impact of wind turbines, including their impact on bird and bat populations, noise pollution, and visual impact.

Cost

The cost of wind energy has been declining in recent years, making it increasingly competitive with fossil fuels. Experts may want to know the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for wind energy projects, which considers the project's total cost over its lifetime and the amount of energy it can produce. This information can help them assess the economic viability of wind energy projects.

Advancements in Wind Turbine Technology

Wind turbine technology is constantly evolving, with new designs and materials being developed to improve efficiency and reduce costs. For example, some wind turbines now use permanent magnet generators, which are more efficient than traditional generators. In addition, innovations in blade design, such as serrated edges and biomimicry, have led to energy production and noise reduction improvements.

Here are some of the most recent advancements in wind turbine technology:

Larger Rotor Blades

Manufacturers are developing larger rotor blades to increase energy production and efficiency. Longer blades capture more wind energy, and new materials such as carbon fibre are being used to reduce weight and increase strength.

Offshore Floating Turbines

Floating wind turbines can be installed in deeper waters where fixed-bottom turbines cannot be installed. New designs using buoyancy and mooring systems are making it possible to deploy turbines in even deeper waters.

Digital Twin Technology

Wind turbine manufacturers are using digital twin technology to optimise design and performance. Digital twin technology creates a virtual replica of a turbine and its components, allowing for more accurate simulations of real-world conditions and improved performance.

Lidar Sensors

Lidar (light detection and ranging) sensors are being used to improve wind measurement accuracy and provide better data for turbine design and performance. Lidar sensors use laser beams to detect wind speeds and directions at various heights, providing a more detailed picture of the wind resource.

Direct-Drive Generators

Direct-drive generators eliminate the need for a gearbox, reducing maintenance and increasing efficiency. These generators are becoming increasingly popular in offshore wind turbines due to their high reliability and low maintenance requirements.

Modular Turbine Design

Modular turbine design allows for easier transportation and installation, as turbines can be broken down into smaller components. This also allows for easier maintenance and repair, as individual components can be replaced without needing to take the entire turbine offline.

Challenges Faced by Offshore Wind Turbines

Offshore wind turbines offer a promising source of renewable energy. However, there are several challenges associated with the installation, operation, and maintenance of these turbines.

  • Installation and Maintenance
    • Installing and maintaining offshore wind turbines is a complex and expensive process. Offshore turbines are typically larger and more complex than onshore turbines, which makes installation and maintenance more challenging. In addition, the turbines are located in deep water, which requires specialised equipment and expertise to install and maintain.
  • Harsh Ocean Conditions
    • Offshore wind turbines are subject to harsh ocean conditions, including high winds, waves, and saltwater corrosion. These conditions can cause damage to the turbines, which can lead to costly repairs and downtime.
  • High Initial Investment
    • Building offshore wind turbines requires a significant initial investment. Building the turbines, laying cables to transmit electricity, and constructing supporting infrastructure can be expensive. This can be a barrier to entry for some developers, particularly in developing countries.
  • Environmental Concerns
    • Offshore wind turbines can have ecological impacts, particularly on marine life. The turbines can create noise pollution, which can disrupt marine mammals, and their construction and operation can cause physical disturbance to the seabed. In addition, the placement of turbines can impact the migration routes of birds and marine mammals, which can have long-term ecological consequences.

Increasing Government Regulation

Government regulations, legislation and targets are constantly changing, many delivering new challenges for the industry. Here is a brief summary of some of the most recent changes:

Onshore Wind Planning Guidance

In 2019, the UK government updated its planning guidance to make it easier for local councils to approve onshore wind projects. The guidance clarifies the criteria that onshore wind projects must meet to be considered for approval and provides guidance on how to assess the impact of onshore wind farms on the local environment.

Contracts for Difference

The UK government has introduced a new round of Contracts for Difference (CfD) auctions to support the development of low-carbon energy projects, including offshore wind. The auctions will provide subsidies to developers of renewable energy projects, helping to make them economically viable.

Net Zero Emissions Target

In 2019, the UK government passed legislation committing the country to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This has created a strong impetus for developing renewable energy projects, including wind turbines, to help meet this target.

Offshore Wind Sector Deal

In 2019, the UK government announced a new sector deal for the offshore wind industry. The deal sets a target of 30 GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030 and includes commitments to invest in new technologies, improve the supply chain, and support the development of the offshore wind workforce.

Addressing These Challenges

While the challenges associated with offshore wind turbines are significant, several strategies can be used to address them. For example:

Technological Innovations

New technologies are being developed to improve the efficiency and durability of offshore wind turbines. For example, some manufacturers are exploring the use of materials that are more resistant to saltwater corrosion. Innovations in blade design are also being developed to reduce noise pollution and increase energy production.

Government Support

Governments can support offshore wind projects through subsidies, tax incentives, and favourable regulatory frameworks. This can help to offset some of the high initial costs associated with offshore wind turbine development.

Collaboration

Collaboration between industry stakeholders, including manufacturers, developers, and environmental groups, can help address environmental concerns and identify economically and environmentally sustainable solutions.
