Operations and Maintenance of Offshore Wind Energy Farms

The first generation of wind turbines was installed onshore. But with the advances in technology, the industry realized the fact that, the wind is available more uniformly offshore than onshore and there are less fluctuations in wind speed due to absence of rough terrain. So if wind turbines are installed offshore, they can harvest more wind energy than onshore installation. But offshore installations come with some different challenges in operations and maintenance of turbines.
