Overview

The wind is a clean, free, and readily available renewable energy source which can be converted into electricity using wind turbines that convert the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical power. Windspeed and direction are more consistent offshore than they are onshore and consequently, offshore wind farms are built progressively. Statistics from Wind Europe confirm that 2018 counted a total of 4,543 installed and grid connected offshore turbines in Europe corresponding to a total of capacity of 18,499 MW. The Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm is the first book available on the market to specifically focus on the installation of an offshore wind farm. It also specifies the type of construction vessels used for each specific installation, outlines the required crew members on board and their mandatory basic training programs and explains how the workers travel to and from site. The book draws on the author's hands on experience of the transport and installation of the components for the offshore wind farms.This book is a valuable educational investment designed with graphics and figures along with corresponding project photos which creates an easy read and provides the readers with a quick, but yet deep understanding on the respective installation phases.
