Offshore wind energy is a technology based on harnessing the kinetic energy of wind occurring in maritime areas. The mechanism of energy production is analogous to that of onshore wind turbines – the kinetic energy of wind is converted into mechanical energy in the form of rotor rotation. This energy is transmitted via a shaft to a generator, which then converts it into electrical energy. Compared to onshore systems, offshore wind farms are larger and feature higher turbine efficiency, resulting from greater stability and strength of wind over maritime areas.
