Title: Offshore Wind Energy Offshore wind energy has become the need of the hour in renewable energy production due to rising oil prices and ever-growing demand of an energy sector separate. Offshore wind has the prospect of supplying at least four times the current US energy demand, as mentioned by the Global Wind Energy Council. However, there are many challenges and benefits that are important to understand. Most offshore wind turbines are built in water about 100 feet deep with a monopole that has been implanted directly into the seabed. For projects built further offshore, more multi-faceted and expensive tripod structures are required so that a stable base in deeper water is permitted. When electricity is connected, it passes through cables beneath the ocean floor to a substation on land or on an offshore platform, then moved onto the power grid. Offshore wind projects offer various advantages as well as providing huge development opportunities due to the natural topography...
