  2. Offshore wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_wind_power

    As a general rule, fixed foundation offshore wind turbines are considered technically viable in areas with water depth less than 50 metres (160 ft) and average wind speeds over 7 metres per second (23 ft/s). [68] Floating offshore wind turbines are considered technically viable with water depths from 50 to 1,000 metres (160 to 3,280 ft).

  4. Dogger Bank Wind Farm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogger_Bank_Wind_Farm

    The Dogger Bank is an attractive location for offshore wind farms because it is far away from shore, avoiding complaints about the visual impact of wind turbines, yet the water depth is shallow enough for traditional fixed foundation wind turbine designs. [7] Fixed-foundation wind turbines are economically limited to maximum water depths of 40 ...

    The exploration of offshore wind energy started with the introduction of monopile foundations for wind turbines in a range from 1 up to 3MW in water depth of about 10 to 20m during the 1990s. [2] Germany has been facing water depths up to 40m, when it joined this new field of renewable energy .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension-leg_platform

    Earlier offshore wind turbines cost more to produce, stood on towers dug deep into the ocean floor, were only possible in depths of at most 50 feet (15 m), and generated 1.5 megawatts for onshore units and 3.5 megawatts for conventional offshore setups. In contrast, TLP installation was calculated to cost a third as much.
