In addition, offshore wind turbines are built to take advantage of the more consistent wind speeds present over the ocean,
offshore wind turbine technology has grown steadily in Europe, and, to a lesser extent, in Asia. As of 2014, Europe accounted for 90%of the estimated 8. 8 GW of installed global offshore wind turbine capacity.
Offshore wind power development in Europe began in 1991 when the first offshore farm was installed off the coast of Denmark,
The world largest single offshore wind turbine is currently about 6 megawatts; Keuka says its full-size turbines could produce at least double that amount.
*Offshore wind turbines could also benefit from self-healing technology, as they are damaged often by bird strikes.

That provides much more flexibility for site selection than offshore wind turbines which can easily run into aesthetic obstacles.
Offshore wind turbines could benefit from selfhealing technology, as they are damaged often by bird strikes (AFP/Getty) Professor Wass team at the University of Bristol has been focusing on the creation of self-healing versions of carbon fibre composite materials,

and determined whether local offshore wind turbines were an option. Geothermal energy was available at a reasonable cost for only 13 states.
