Green energy is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change. The North Sea is a significant region for offshore wind energy in Europe, with the world's largest offshore wind farm located there. This study provides an overview of wind farms, types of turbines, and turbine structures in the North Sea.
Green energy is the key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and thus helping to combat climate change. Modern wind turbines have been implemented all over the world and represent a significant alternative for the elimination of fossil fuels or other methods of obtaining energy. Europe plays an important role in the offshore wind energy sector, with wind farms installed in 11 countries, of which the mainstay is the North Sea. The North Sea is home to the world's largest offshore wind farm, completed in 2020, with a capacity of 1218 MW of 174 turbines. This study presents an overview of the wind farms deployed in the North Sea, the types of turbines, and the types of structures for turbines. Based on the characteristics of the North Sea, the classification society's rules for the environmental conditions that these structures must comply with were also investigated.
