Srbija jezik (latinica)Description Of Two Types Of Wind Energy
Onshore Wind Energy
Onshore wind energy utilizes wind power to generate energy and convert it into electricity. It is often built in fields, rural areas, and other sparsely populated areas. The environmental requirements for the design and installation of onshore wind turbine towers are relatively simple.
Advantages
Easy to install and low maintenance cost
Environmental friendly
Good cost-effective
Disadvantages
Landscape limit
Changes in wind speed
Noise effects on people's life
Offshore wind energy
Offshore wind farms are used to generate electricity by converting sea breeze into electrical energy. It is well known that the marine environment is more complex, so offshore steel tubular wind towers face more challenges.
Advantages
High wind speeds and more energy generated
More space to construct an offshore wind farm
Low environmental impact
Disadvantages
Expensive construction costs
Difficult to maintain and repair
Marine climate challenge
The Differences Between Onshore & Offshore Wind Turbine Tower
Different Steel Tower Structures
The onshore steel tubular towers are more simple than offshore ones. When building an onshore wind power it is only necessary to consider a suitable location, make the base and prefabrication components of the wind tubular tower, and transport them to the site for assembly. However, the construction of offshore wind steel towers is more complicated. It is very important to consider the complex environmental conditions such as waves, salt corrosion, fixed solution, and support frames for offshore wind power towers before design and construction.
Working Environment
Onshore wind turbine towers face fewer environmental changes. The working environment of offshore wind tower is much more harsh. The harsh environmental factors put higher requirements for the anti-corrosion performance, sealing performance, and structural strength of the offshore wind steel tower.
Cost And Maintenance
Offshore wind towers have higher construction and maintenance costs than onshore wind towers. Due to the complex and difficult offshore construction environment, more human, material, and financial resources are required.
Future Trend Of Wind Energy
Wind energy, as a renewable energy source, is of great importance to people's productive lives. Whether it is an onshore wind turbine tower or an offshore wind turbine tower, it is easy and fast to install. And with the continuous development and update of technology, the raw materials and manufacturing process of wind turbine towers will also be updated and optimized.
