A Survey and Analysis on the Location of Offshore Wind Power Generator Facilities

해상풍력발전 입지 선정에 관한 조사 및 분석

With the development of human civilization, humanity has grown to use enormous of energy. As the use of energy increases, although human life has become prosperous and materially plentiful, the consequent problems are becoming more serious day by day. The main cause of the emission of greenhouse gases is the enormous amount of carbon dioxide generated by the burning of fossil fuels. Many land-based wind power generator facilities complexes, which is one of the new renewable energy sources, have currently been completed and put in operation or are planned to bo constructed in Korea. However, in consideration of the economy and the effect on the environment, the progressive trend is to plan and install such complexes at sea rather than on land. In this paper, we shall investigate and analyze the location selection for offshore wind power generator facilities.
