ABSTRACT

In the recent decades, the demand for energy is increasing due to the increase in world population and also due to industrialization. Most of the people are dependent on fossil fuel as energy source and as a result there is a negative impact in the society due to the depletion of fossil fuel. So, efforts are being made to gradually adopt renewable energy resources that are going to be exempt from any environmental consequences. The wind energy is observed as an essential and powerful energy resource for the socio-economic development and economic growth which helps in reducing the dependency on fossil fuels and provides clean energy. It has been estimated that about 10 million MW of energy are available in the earth’s wind and it provides security at a time when decreasing global reserves of fossil fuels threatens the long-term sustainability of global economy. Thus, wind energy emerged as a promising technology for the utilization of offshore wind resources for the large scale generation of electricity.
