  • Abstract
    Offshore wind power is a relatively new market that has only really emerged on a commercial scale in the last decade. There are many technical and other challenges with the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of large offshore wind plants; this is especially true when, as is often the case today, they are built with capacities of hundreds of megawatts.
