Abstract
In many parts of the world, wind energy has already grown to be a mainstream
energy source. This growth has long been driven by concerns about global
climate change, mainly in the developed world and especially in Europe.
The possibility of locating wind turbines in the sea bed has opened up a new
frontier for wind power, especially in the countries of northern Europe, where
the availability of relatively shallow coastal waters has combined with the
need to find space for much larger projects than are possible on land.
The pioneer in offshore wind farming has been Denmark, which has installed the
two largest wind parks in the sea - 160 MW at Horns Rev in the North Sea and
158 MW at Nysted in the Baltic. Two further large developments at the same
sites are now progressing.
The UK has also taken on a leading role, with 214 MW already built in four
locations, a further 1,000 MW+ with agreement to proceed across eight sites,
and even larger individual projects (of up to 1,000 MW each) planned within
three strategic offshore areas identified by the UK government.
Aruvian's R'search brings a research report on the Offshore Wind Power Market
in the European Union - Analyzing the Offshore Wind Power Market in EU.
Aruvian's research report Analyzing the Offshore Wind Power Market in EU
starts off with an analysis of the basics about wind power and then takes a
look at the various factors driving the wind power industry worldwide, and
especially in the European Union. The economic feasibility of wind power is
also a factor that is touched upon during the analysis of factors driving
growth in the wind power industry worldwide. An introduction to offshore wind
power and how it is impacting the energy industry worldwide is also discussed.
We analyze the overall market for offshore wind power in the European Union,
along with a country-wise analysis of the major regions involved in offshore
wind power developments, the benefits of offshore wind power for the European
Union, the challenges facing offshore wind power in the EU, the role of
offshore wind power in meeting the targets of the Kyoto Protocol, and an
analysis of the major offshore wind farms in the EU.
A case study takes a look at the fast-growing offshore wind energy in China
and also compares the offshore wind energy in the EU versus the United States.
Economic value of an offshore grid in the European Union is also described
here.
The developing supply chain in the EU offshore wind industry takes a look at
two cost drivers that include the turbine supply chain in the industry and
also the availability of substructures.
Leading offshore wind turbine manufacturers such as Siemens AG, Vestas,
Nordex, Repower, BARD Engineering, and Multibrid/Areva are analyzed keeping in
mind their role in the offshore wind sector.
The future of the offshore wind power industry in the EU is also looked at in
the report.
This research report from Aruvian's R'search on the offshore wind power market
in the EU is a comprehensive study on this subject, and provides you with a
complete picture of what is going on in the offshore wind power markets in the
European Union.
