Abstract

Wind energy is a clean and renewable energy that can meet the increasing global demands of energy. In the current paper, a feasibility study and design of floating offshore wind energy turbine in United Arab Emirates (UAE) are presented. The potentiality of harnessing wind energy and the economic feasibility for commercialized offshore wind farms in UAE were investigated. The results obtained indicate that there is high potential of wind energy in the Arabian Gulf, offshore the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, if floating offshore wind energy vessels are erected to harness the energy.
