Offshore wind energy has various advantages. The power of the wind here is far greater than compared to land. Researchers and wind energy advocates are setting their sights on the potential for harnessing the relatively consistent and powerful winds of the deepwater ocean. ... Companies like Pacific Crest Transformers is working towards a clean energy economy too. Visit its website and learn more on the renewable energy market and the role of energy-efficient transformers.

The Repower 5M isnt even in serial production, besides its a highwind turbine, whereas Vestas (V90 + v112)and Siemens (2.3MW + 3.6MW) are targetting both High, medium and low wind, see the point?

[schiehallion3500]

thormj, vestas and Siemens only erect 3mw offshore, these repower ones are 5mw. Vestas have gone bust anyway.

[thormj]

Offshore I would go for Vestas or Siemens Wind Power...

the turbines can be turned off too, if the helicopter were to land there.

This platform is not a landing platform or a Helicopterdeck. Its only possible to rescue persons by pick them up with a Safety harnest and a robe via the Helicopter.

Yea, no wake. The most turbulent part of the "backwash" is at the tips of the blades where wake vortex can form.

[Recon7777x]

Um.. what wake? Wind turbines are powered by the wind. They don't create wind, they use it.

how the hell is a helicopter going to land in the wake of that turbine. Bit turbulent dont ya think?
