Onshore and Offshore Wind Turbines

Onshore wind turbines Offshore wind turbines
Advantages
  • It requires cheaper foundations
  • Easily intergrated with the electrical- grid network
  • cheaper Installation and access during the construction phase.
  • It can be operated and maintained easily and cheaply

Source:Onshore Vs Offshore Wind Turbines

These are two types, namely Near shore and Off shore.

Advantages:

  • The roughness of the water surface is very low Wind and obstacles to the wind are less.

so, large turbines can be installed

  • Noise pollution is also not a factor because these are too far from shores
  • Less affected to turbulance in wind and low wind shear
Disadvantages
  • Neagtive visual impact or noise.
  • Limted avaliability of lands
  • Restrictions asscociated with obstructions like buildings, mountains, etc.
  • Noise pollution
  • Afftected to more turbulance

Sources:Wind Power,Types of Wind Farms

Disadvantages:
  • Installing offshore windturbines is much more complex and costly
  • Connection to the utility grid is also much more complex and expensive
  • Operation and maintanances is also a complex task with off shore wind turbines
