Bookmark or Share- Cybersecurity guidance for the global offshore wind industryWind power is affected by this escalating cyber threat environment. Its growth as a backbone of major economies – and its reliance on networked digital devices – make it a target. In 2022 alone, three different cyberattacks affected wind power production in Germany – including disrupting communication with offshore wind facilities.
- Floating wind could be the key to clean energy transitionFloating wind on the other hand can be installed regardless of sea depth, opening up vast tracts of ocean which could be used for energy generation. It is estimated that floating wind has roughly double the potential capacity of bottom-fixed offshore wind, and this is only taking into account areas located up to 200 kilometres from shore.
- What is offshore wind and what does its future look like? | World ...Run by Danish energy company Ørsted, which pioneered the first offshore wind farms 30 years ago, Hornsea 2’s 165 wind turbines are sited next to its older sibling Hornsea 1 - and together they can power 2.5 million homes, contributing to the UK government’s goal of 50 GW in offshore wind capacity by 2030.
- Which countries have the most offshore wind power capacity? | World ...And South Korea is planning the world’s largest offshore wind development, with 8.2 gigawatts of capacity. With less than half of China’s combined onshore and offshore wind power capacity, the US had 139 gigawatts installed in 2021. Like China, the country is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels, but its wind capacity is growing steadily.
- How can offshore wind be a nature-positive climate solution?Wind power is the most mature, most commercialized and promising renewable energy technology. Compared with onshore wind, offshore wind power has the advantages of zero occupation of land, high and stable wind speed, low turbulence intensity, minor visual and noise pollution, less environmental impact and large wind power production capacity.
