Middelgrunden - Copenhagen The increase in emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants linked to the exploitation of conventional energy sources made from fossil fuels, together with their limited availability, has created an increasing emphasis on the exploitation of renewable energy "sources" for the production of electricity.
addition to hydraulic source, already widely used in Italy, other renewable sources have made inroads in recent years.
Among these, the wind has been shown to be able to supplement significant at traditional sources, especially at local level, ensuring the fulfillment of the requirements of economy and at the same time respecting the needs of environmental protection facilities in which they appear.
not forget that the fundamental problem of primary interest is to reduce the levels of energy consumption, now a functional system of life and production continues to grow. At the same time, however, is not acceptable that even in developing countries to decline to social standards that are right to be pursued, but involving, inevitably, an increase of per capita consumption of energy.
The alternative to this situation can only be the use of sources of "clean" energy, ie renewable energy (biomass, wind, solar, geothermal), in order to minimize the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Obviously, the choice should be accomplished without neglecting environmental aspects that the adoption of such technologies. It would be ironic indeed if the use of these sources to determine, even local level, environmental damage of another kind.
The production facilities for wind energy, in particular those consisting of multiple wind turbines connected to electricity grids (known as wind farms) had, for years, particularly in large applications in Northern Europe, Germany and Spain.
With the evolution of technology and with the increasing size of turbines, has initiated the study of applications at sea (offshore).
The main reasons that prompted the research in the offshore sector are:
- Scarcity, in some countries, the exploitation of suitable sites for wind
earth - wind speed higher
- Twenty more stable in terms of temporal frequency
- Surface roughness smaller and therefore cheaper turbines
- Less turbulence: the higher life of the turbines
- Less impact on the landscape with respect to an installation on the ground
In Italy there are many factors that adversely affect the development of this area (the low average wind, the conformation largely mountainous land, high population density and the widespread presence in the area of \u200b\u200bcultural and archaeological sites), but the sector is undergoing a period growth.
