What is called offshore?
Offshore means to be away from the coast. For example: There are several oil-rigs working in the North Sea, just offshore from Aberdeen, Scotland.
What is an offshore column of rock that was once connected to mainland?
rocks that are offshore. cheating on your homework I see
What is an offshore platform and how is it different an onshore drilling rig?
An offshore platform is a structure that is installed over as group of wells that was drilled by an offshore drilling rig. The function of the platform is to produce the oil from these wells. A platform can be mounted to the seabed or could be a floating type platform. Offshore drilling rigs are for drilling the wells and are mobile and moved from area to area. Onshore drilling rigs are mobile units too and are moved from pad to pad for drilling and exploration. After a well is drilled onshore, a wellhead is installed on the well. There is no need for a platform as this only economically viable in offshore applications. There have been cases where an offshore well was drilled from land into the sea, but operated from land. This can only be possible if the oil formation is not too far offshore.
Many energy source use turbines to generate electricity what is one type of energy source that does not use turbines?
solar
What certificate is needed to be a rigger offshore?
RIGGING CERTIFICATE
How many turbines are there at the Thanet offshore wind farm?
Thanet Offshore Wind Farm has 100 x 3MW turbines.
Where are wind turbines found in the Netherlands?
mostly offshore
Why do offshore turbines produce more electricity than onshore ones?
Offshore turbines tend to produce more electricity than onshore ones because offshore winds are typically stronger and more consistent. Offshore locations also offer more space for larger turbines, which can capture more wind energy. Additionally, offshore turbines are often placed in locations with fewer obstacles, resulting in higher wind speeds and increased energy production.
What are the advantages of locating wind turbines offshore?
The wind is stronger and more consistent.It does not use on shore real-estate.
Are wind turbines built in factories?
yes it is
Where have wind turbines been used successfully in the UK?
Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.
Should wind turbines be built in Vermont?
Yes because wind turbines are alternate energy sources
What are the advantages and disadvantages of floating offshore windmill?
Anyone who looks at a wind atlas can see one obvious advantage of offshore wind turbines compared to any other location: there is more power in the wind offshore than just about anywhere else in the world. Another advantage to offshore wind turbines is that many of the places that use the most power -- large cities -- are relatively close to shoreline, and far away from other areas of high wind power potential -- the high mountain plateaus. One disadvantage of a floating offshore wind turbine is that there is the risk that bad weather may make it completely disappear, as happened to the Project Mustard Seed turbines. With land-based wind turbines, there is generally *something* left to salvage no matter how bad the weather gets. ... please fill in other advantages and disadvantages ...
Where are offshore and onshore wind farms located and where are they planned to be built?
The Netherlands
What kind of engineers will work with the sea wind turbines?
Mechanical, civil, electrical, environmental and industrial engineers all work on offshore wind.
Compare wind turbines and wave turbines?
Wind turbines use the kinetic energy of wind to generate electricity, while wave turbines harness the energy from ocean waves to produce power. Wind turbines are typically installed on land or offshore in areas with strong winds, while wave turbines are situated in the ocean to capture the motion of waves. Both technologies are considered renewable sources of energy, but wave turbines are less common and still in the early stages of development compared to wind turbines.
How do wind farms work?
wind farms are built and turbines are put up. As the wind blows it turns the turbines generating electricity.
