Abstract

Offshore wind farms will contribute significantly to the renewable generation of electricity for the world. The economic development of wind farms depends, however, on development of efficient solutions to a number of technical issues, one of these being the foundations for the offshore turbines. We review here the results of recent research for wind turbine foundations. Also it is a short overview of some of the challenges facing the growth of offshore wind energy foundation technology.
