Market Insights
Offshore wind energy
(offshore wind power) is the conversion of wind’s kinetic energy into
electrical energy. Uniform and high speeds of wind can be harnessed in offshore
environment since it accounts to nil obstruction to wind force. Multiple
windmills together constitute to a wind farm. These farms are constructed in
the water bodies usually oceans to harvest the energy of wind and convert it
into electrical energy.
The offshore wind
installations reduces the impact on real estate as in onshore installations.
Moreover, wind speed is uniform and consistent in offshore installations, which
increases the efficiency of electricity generation. Thus, the offshore wind
energy is highly attractive and more promising in terms of power generation and
grid connections.
Some of the restraining
factors of offshore wind installations are wind turbines are exposed to high
humidity and salt contents, which affects service life of components due to
corrosion, oxidation and increased repair and maintenance costs. In general,
the offshore installation costs are much higher than onshore. The repair
maintenance and overhauling operations are also high cost and time consuming as
it requires expensive marine operations involvement and are comparatively
dangerous. The offshore wind farms operate at high speeds compared to onshore
wind farms, hence offshore turbines are more susceptible to high rate of wear
and tear, maintenance and repair of moving parts.

In the early 2017,
Denmark has come up with new recycling process of offshore wind turbine blades,
made up of fiberglass. When the wind turbine is de-commissioned, the blades may
fall off to the landfill area where it may take many years to decompose. The
blades can now be recycled and applied as sound barriers of vehicular traffic
along major roads.
The key players,
developers, suppliers and service providers are Siemens-Gamesa, MHI Vestas Wind
Systems A/S, DONG Energy, VattenFall, E.on, GE Wind, Sinovel Wind Group Co.
Ltd., Nordex S.E, China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Ltd, Alstom, Senvion Ltd.,
Clipper Wind power, and DOOSAN Heavy Industry & Construction.
Key Trends:
- Rising investor confidence in the
offshore wind energy market. More financial institutions and Governmental
agencies actively investing in the market for development of offshore wind
farms.
- Deployment of 8MW and above wind
turbine in European and Chinese farms and its introduction in the
respective countries for proposed offshore wind power projects
