Understanding the spatial variation of the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) of offshore wind is
fundamental for identifying potential areas for the development of this technology. With this …

Obtaining wind energy for the production of electric energy plays a key role in overcoming
the problems associated with climate change and the dwindling reserves of traditional types …

Wind energy has experienced accelerated cost reduction over the past five years—far
greater than predicted in a 2015 expert elicitation. Here we report results from a new survey …

Offshore wind energy development has been driven by government support schemes;
however, recent cost reductions raise the prospect of offshore wind power becoming …

Long-term economic viability of offshore wind power is not only reliant on reducing
installation, commissioning, and operations and maintenance costs, but also on the …

Floating offshore wind, far less constrained by water depths than bottom-fixed, has great
potential in the Mediterranean Basin. The levelised cost of energy (LCOE) is arguably the …

The objective of the present study is to provide a review of the structural integrity of fixed
support structures for offshore wind turbines, focusing on the physics behind the failure …

The costs of wind power have declined to levels on par with or below those of conventional
sources in many parts of the world. Wind power has become one of the fastest‐growing …

The selection of suitable sites is a critical step for the successful development of offshore
wind power. This study aims to establish an assessment framework to select the optimal …

Offshore wind energy is recognized as an important source of renewable energy and has
experienced rapid growth in recent years especially in north-western European countries. In …
