Offshore wind industry has greater growth potential, since the wind resource is 30 - 50 percent higher at sea than on land. The infrastructure required for the installation of an offshore wind farm is more complex than on land. Today we will see how to carry out maintenance and repair work on the different structures that make up an offshore wind farm.
