With the first power at “the world’s largest offshore wind farm” announced this month, there is finally some enthusiasm in the wind energy sector. Following months of pessimism around high material costs, low profits and mechanical issues at wind farms, the sector is seeing the results of a huge investment, as the massive Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the U.K. comes into operation.
The potential for developing vast amounts of offshore wind capacity reflects significant innovations in wind turbine technology over the last decade. Several improvements have been made to wind energy equipment thanks to heavy investments in the sector worldwide. In September, the U.S. Department of Energy’s DoE Wind Energy Technologies Office selected 15 projects, awarding a total of $27 million to address key deployment challenges for offshore, land-based and distributed wind technologies.
