STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF OFFSHORE WIND FARMS ON THE BLACK SEA COAST
Abstract
During the process of adapting renewable energy and ensuring national energy security in the current geopolitical context, technological progress in the field of green energy has received increased attention. This has led to the development of updated policies on investment in onshore renewable energy (which uses wind and solar energy through wind turbines and photovoltaic parks) and offshore renewable energy (which uses tidal, wave, solar, and wind energy through floating photovoltaic parks and wind turbines that are either floating or fixed to the seabed) at both European Union (EU) and national levels. Waves, sun, and wind through floating photovoltaic parks and floating or land-based wind turbines) have been developed at both the European Union (EU) level and the national level of EU member states. In the context of the contemporary development of the European Union and Romania`s electricity approach with inside the subject of offshore wind electricity, this paper pursuits to research the contemporary degree in phrases of the legislative framework and the potentialities for the improvement of such an funding through the authorization, construction, and next connection of an offshore wind farm with inside the Black Sea to the National Energy System (NES).The purpose of study is to estimate the impact of a 1 GW offshore wind farm in the Black Sea. There are presented data for location of study, technical details of a wind farm with an installed capacity of 1 GW on the coast of Black Sea. The methodology of study is an analysis of the energy, economic, and environmental impact of a wind farm. The results of the study lead to the conclusion that the exploitation of the wind potential in the offshore area of the Black Sea has a strategic importance and can ensure energy independence depending on the climatic conditions of the area.
