4.1 Wind
There has been a considerable global increase in wind turbine capacity in recent years, especially in offshore marine environments. Significant further expansion of capacity is expected in the coming years, for instance in the United Kingdom there are plans to increase offshore wind capacity fourfold by 2030. The impact of corrosion is an important factor in the design and operation of offshore wind turbine generators (WTGs).
Offshore WTGs have traditionally been based on either monopile structures for shallow water (<30 m), or jacket type structures for deeper water (<60 m), with current offshore WTG...
