Abstract:

In recent years, the development of offshore wind power industry is very rapid, the number of offshore wind farms is increasing and the scale is expanding. This paper first reviewed the operating wind farms, the characteristics of the main components and the scale of the wind farms. Then, the correlation analysis of the layout parameters of offshore wind farms, such as the number of wind turbines, installed capacity, offshore distance and water depth, was carried out. In addition, this paper also comprehensively considered the relevant data of offshore wind power projects under construction, and discussed the development of offshore wind energy technologies related to the wind farm projects under construction. The data shows that the scale of wind farms and the rated capacity of wind turbines continue to grow, while offshore wind farms will develop farther offshore and deeper. Finally, this article looked forward to the future layout and capacity of offshore wind farms.

Key words: offshore wind farms, infrastructure, gloable offshore wind power projects, renewable energy, wind farm layout
