Abstract
The wind energy market is one of the most promising markets of renewable energies. Besides biomass, photovoltaic, geothermal, and ocean energy especially the offshore wind energy will deliver the biggest part in renewable electricity. Regarding National and European demands for 2030, 25% of the required electricity will result from renewables. The biggest player will be the wind energy. To reach this aim a significant installation of offshore and onshore wind energy turbines is necessary. Figure 1 shows the estimated annual installation and cumulated capacity of onshore and offshore wind energy in Europe.
