Wind Energy Ships: Global Analysis of Operability

Most offshore wind farms are bottom-fixed at sites with less than 50 m of water depth. For deeper waters, floating platforms economically viable and, for many countries that have steep continental shelves, this is the only option developing farms. If energy being harvested far in deep waters (more 200 depth and hundreds km from coast), one possible alternative use Floating Production Storage (FPS) sailing ships navigate through ocean using force utilize part power to produce store fuel. These called “energy ships”. The objective paper carry out a qualitative determination global marine areas suitable operation ships. To purpose, wave ship ranges been defined databases waves used obtain statistics operational parameters. From analysis carried most promising seasons identified qualified terms aforementioned
