Abstract

More than 50 countries around the world have an organized set up in the field of wind power. Large progress in wind power has been witnessed in the countries of the European Union especially Germany, but the situation is changing quite rapidly. China, United States are experiencing a surge of activity. Other markets like South America are also catching up quite rapidly. In the past few years, a new frontier for wind power development has also been established in the sea. With offshore wind parks beginning to make a contribution, the possibilities of using wind energy systems worldwide are likely to increase many times in the future. Establishing wind energy projects in the sea has opened up new demands, including the need for stronger foundations, long underwater cables and larger individual turbines, but offshore wind parks are expected to contribute an increasing proportion of global capacity.
