Offshore wind facilities are typically comprised of turbines, whose rotors convert mechanical energy from wind into electrical energy, and offshore substations, which collect and modify energy from turbines for transmission. Energy is transported between substations and to shore via subsea power cables (which are typically buried in the seafloor) so it can be integrated into the electrical grid on land. Turbines can either have fixed foundations installed on the seafloor, or floating foundations, which are anchored to the seafloor with specialized mooring lines. Floating turbine designs are newer and are generally deployed in much deeper waters (50–300 m, or 164–984 ft) For more detailed information and scientific citations, please see the full FAQ document linked below.
