The offshore wind is the best positioning at sea, out of sight, there where the air currents blowing almost incessantly and with great intensity. Nevertheless, for these 'wind farms' are all issues related to the difficulty of installation, corrosion of the rotor and transport of maintenance in case of failure. This challenge, however, seems to be ready DeepCwind floating wind farm which, if realized, will be the largest in the world. The consortium of U.S. universities and private companies that are planning to offshore records are facing and must overcome all the difficulties of stability that will be used to meet in case of realization. "The main problem is to maintain stable turbines," he told the BBC World Dagher Habib, a researcher from the University of Maine and director of the project DeepCwind. Dr. Dagher tip to achieve the dream but to realize that they are not cost prohibitive for the dissemination of the project.
The site chosen for the facility is located four miles from Monhegan Island, an island on the Atlantic coast of the northern United States, where the sea has a depth of 120 meters and where you plan to complete the project for 2014.
Out of sight and shipping lanes rotors should not interfere with human activities generate about twice what is currently unable to produce a conventional offshore installation
