Offshore Wind International Review Luciano Pirazzi ENEA
A few data about offshore wind installations at the end of 2008 • 1,471 MW wind power capacity • 2% of the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in the European Union • 357 MW installed in 2008 • According to EWEA 3.5 GW should be installed by 2010, 35 GW by 2020 and 120 GW by 2030
TPWindStrategic Research Agenda Market Deployment Strategy From 2008 to 2030 2030 Objective More than 10% Europe’s electricity demand from offshore wind • Offshore generating costs competitive with other sources • Commercially mature technology with a water depth of up to 50m • Technology proven through full-scale demonstration in deeper water
TPWind Research topics • Sub-structures • Assembly, installation, decommissioning • Electrical infrastructures • Turbines • Operation & maintenance
Wind energy schemes in the development cycle in the U.K.As of October 2008 Source: BWEA
What about the Mediterranean Sea? • Potential of 2000-4000 MW in Italian waters deeper than 60 m estimated from Wind Atlas carried out by Cesi Ricerca • Blue H launched a first floating 80 kW wind turbine offshore southern Italy at the end of 2007 off the Apulian coast
