Offshore WindInternational Review

Luciano PirazziENEA

A few data about offshore wind installations at the end of 2008

• 1,471 MW wind power capacity• 2% of the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in

the European Union• 357 MW installed in 2008

• According to EWEA 3.5 GW should be installed by 2010, 35 GW by 2020 and 120 GW by 2030

TPWindStrategic Research Agenda Market Deployment Strategy

From 2008 to 2030

2030 Objective

More than 10% Europe’s electricity demand from offshore wind

• Offshore generating costs competitive with other sources

• Commercially mature technology with a water depth of

up to 50m• Technology proven through full-scale demonstration in

deeper water

TPWind Research topics

• Sub-structures• Assembly, installation, decommissioning• Electrical infrastructures• Turbines• Operation & maintenance

• Potential of 2000-4000 MW in Italian waters deeper than 60 m estimated from Wind Atlas carried out by Cesi Ricerca

• Blue H launched a first floating 80 kW wind turbine offshore southern Italy at the end of 2007 off the Apulian coast
